See the white morsels and sprinkles inside the cookie |
I saw Blizzard Cookies on Sugar Spun Run (link below) and had to make these cookies. My hubby refers to these cookies as Snowpocalypse Cookies but they can also be called Frozen Cookies. I recently bought some Betty Crocker Snowflake Mix Sprinkles and wanted to use them for this recipe. I also added some Wilton Colored Nonpareils in various shades of blue, Wilton White Pearlized Jimmies, and pressed a few Wilton Snowflakes into the cookies after they baked. I increased the amount of sprinkles from 1/4 to 1/2 cup but followed the rest of the recipe as is. This cookie is fabulous! There is cream cheese in the batter and it is soft and tender, and the sprinkles give it a nice crunch. These cookies taste amazing and have a great vanilla flavor, and the white morsels give it a balanced sweetness. I recommend you try this cookie recipe real soon. I plan to use it again and just change the chips and colors of the sprinkles depending on the theme or holiday I am baking for.

Directions
Heat oven to 350 degrees.
Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, baking soda, and salt; set aside.
Cream butter and cream cheese in mixer with paddle attachment on low; 1-2 minutes. Do not overmix.
Add sugars and mix until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Half way scrape sides of bowl.
Add egg and beat until incorporated.
Add vanilla extract and mix until incorporated.
Scrape sides of bowl and mix for 5 seconds.

Adding Snowflake Mix Sprinkles |
Adding more sprinkles: Wilton White Pearlized Jimmies |
Using a spatula fold in white morsels.
With a spatula fold in sprinkles.
Form dough into a ball, cover with plastic wrap and chill in fridge for 1/2 hour since it is sticky.
Chilling the dough a little will help the dough release from the ice cream scoop easier.
I waited a few minutes when the cookies came out the oven and pressed a few Wilton Snowflakes into each cookie |

Flatten cookies with palm of your hand or with the bottom of a glass.
Bake for 8-12 minutes. Cookies will look slightly underdone, but will continue to cook on baking sheet. My cookies were done in 12 minutes.
In the cookie jar for us to enjoy all week and packaged the rest to give to my coworkers |
Wait 5 minutes and then press a few snowflake sprinkles into each cookie if desired.
Transfer to wire racks to cool completely.
