Buttery, nutty, and rolled in a joyful coat of sprinkles, the Deli Sprinkle Cookie is a nostalgic favourite straight from the pages of Arthurs: Home of the Nosh. A staple at Montreal’s Arthurs Nosh Bar, these cheerful cookies are as fun to make as they are to eat—crisp on the outside, tender in the middle, and bursting with big deli energy.
Deli Sprinkle Cookie
Makes 24 cookies
Ingredients:
- 226 g (1 cup) butter, at room temperature
- 83 g (2/3 cup) powdered sugar
- 245 g (1¾ cups) flour
- 3 g (¾ teaspoon) salt
- 110 g (¾ cup) toasted almonds, finely chopped
- 200 g (1 cup) sprinkles
Directions:
- In a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream together the butter and sugar on medium until light and fluffy. Turn the mixer to low and add the flour and salt. Mix until just combined, then add the almonds and mix in.
- Shape the dough into balls the size of Ping-Pong balls (about 30 g/1 oz each).
- Pour the sprinkles into a shallow dish. Roll the balls in the sprinkles, and gently reshape if necessary. Transfer to a sheet tray, and freeze until solid, at least 1 hour and up to overnight. If opting for the longer freeze, transfer to an airtight container once hard to save space and protect them from the freezer air.
- When ready to bake, preheat the oven to 375°F.
- Arrange the cookies on a room-temperature, parchment-lined sheet tray, leaving 2 inches between them. Bake for 12 to 14 minutes, rotating halfway through. The bottoms should be golden.
- Let cool in the pan, then transfer to an airtight container, where they’ll keep at room temperature for 3 to 5 days.
