Notes
READ THIS!
If you decide to make these cookies without the white chocolate frosting on top, make sure to use 4 tablespoons of brown sugar instead of 2 tablespoons. These sugar cookies are purposefully made a little less sweet to balance out the sweetness of the white chocolate topping. So if you want them "naked" add those 2 tablespoon brown sugar in there!How to store these sprinkles sugar cookies?
