Use all the sprinkles!! I love cookies that have funfetti style sprinkles, it just makes them more fun to eat and I’m sure my kids would agree with that 100 percent! Another thing I love are these Italian Ricotta Cookies! They are soft, moist, cake-like cookies and they’re so good you can never stop at just one! They have a nice hint of lemon flavor but you can also use almond extract in place of the lemon juice for delicious alternative. Or better yet, make half of each flavor of glaze
