Ingredients
  

  • 1 box sugar cookie mix
  • 1 large egg
  • 8 tablespoon unsalted butter
  • electric green gel food coloring
  • jumbo red heart sprinkles
  • white chocolate

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to the temperature recommended by the instructions on your sugar cookie mix.
  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set it aside for later.
  • In a large bowl, combine the sugar cookie mix, green food coloring, egg, and butter. Mix everything together until well combined.
  • Use a large cookie scoop or spoon to drop dough onto the prepared baking sheet, making sure to leave plenty of space between each cookie.
  • Bake the cookies for the amount of time recommended by the instructions on your sugar cookie mix.
  • Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • Once the cookies are cool, it's time to decorate! First, melt the white chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl or in a saucepan set over low heat.
  • Transfer the white chocolate to a small piping bag and snip off the tip. Place a dot of white chocolate on the back of each sprinkle and stick them to the cookies.
