    Sprinkle cookie sticks taste like sugar cookies and are as fun to decorate. I dipped mine in chocolate and sprinkled them but you can decorate them in many other ways. For instance, you could also stir in chocolate chips or sprinkles, or dip them in coconut butter (white).

    They are super easy to make. Just mix the batter and bake. Yes, there is some chilling involved, but that's to be sure you keep that fun stick shape.

    How Healthy Are Sprinkle Cookie Sticks

    Normally you wouldn't talk about the nutritional value of a cookie but these are such a healthy snack I felt I must.

    Because they are made of a high protein flour - almond flour - they have more protein then the average sugar cookie. Almond flour is especially nutritious in ways even beyond normal nutrition [source]. And even the chocolate coating has protein because I stirred in sunflower seed butter to thin it out.

    All in all a single cookie has 2 gm protein, 2 gm fiber and untold number of vitamins and minerals, especially thanks to the mineral-rich maple syrup.

    Ingredients in Sprinkle Cookie Sticks

    There are few ingredients in these cookies.

    The cookie sticks:

    1. almond flour

    2. maple syrup

    The chocolate coating:

    1. chocolate chips

    2. sunflower seed butter or nut butter. I used Sunbutter in my cookies for added protein and nutritional value that comes from sunflower seeds. You can use any nut butter however, or even coconut oil.

    Okay, so back to this recipe...

    How to Make Cookie Sticks

    Here is a brief rundown of the steps, but be sure to drop down to the recipe card to see the full recipe spelled out step by step!

    Step 1: Mix up flour and maple syrup.

    Step 2: Freeze dough for 15 minutes

    Step 3: Press into a cookie stick mold, and freeze dough again for 30 minutes, or roll out the chilled dough between two pieces of parchment paper and cut strips.

    Step 4: Bake at 325 F. If using the mold, remove the cookies and set on a cookie sheet to bake - don't bake them in the mold even if it is oven-safe.

    Step 5: Cool and dip and sprinkle!

    Tips to Make Sprinkle Cookie Sticks

    Don't substitute the almond flour with any other flour. The recipe works with only two ingredients because almond flour is high in fat and basically adds structure to the cookie.

    2. The amount of  your flour can be very slightly off and it still works. You want your batter to look like my pictures and video. I don't weigh my flour, I fluff it, spoon it into a measuring cup and level it off. If you want to weigh it, a cup of almond flour is 112 gms.

    3. Don't substitute maple syrup for any other sweetener, although I wonder if monk syrup might work. The syrup is the glue as you might have already guessed.

    4. Don't skip the chilling steps - they are short and they will ensure the stick shape stays while baking.

    When storing realize the stick shape is vulnerable to breakage so use a container with a lid, not a bag.

    Substitutions for Cookie Sticks

    While you cannot substitute the flour, you can use whatever chocolate or other coating you want. I used chocolate chips but you can use a dark chocolate bar melted or wafers.

    To thin the chocolate coating, you can use coconut oil instead of seed or nut butter. Using coconut oil will ensure a snappier coating.

    You can also vary the sprinkles, using coconut shreds, dried fruit, chocolate chips or cookie crumbs. And the chocolate coating can be white either via melted white chocolate or melted coconut butter.
