Decorate cookies, cupcakes, and cakes with icing or frosting first, and then sprinkle with sanding sugar. To add sparkle to muffins and scones, sprinkle the sanding sugar over the tops just before baking. The sugar will stick to the dough, but won’t melt during baking, so the baked goods emerge warm and sparkling.
Add sprinkles after baking
Top the cookies with frosting (homemade or purchased) that is soft but not too runny. (Sprinkles will not stick to dry, stiff frosting.) Drop on fancy sugar or colorful sprinkles before the frosting has set. Or press in chocolate candies to create additional pops of color or add features.
An alternative method for adhering sugar to the cookies is to bake first and cool. Then lightly brush the cookies one at a time with a solution of one part light corn syrup to two parts water and before it dries, pour the sugar onto the cookie.
Unlike granulated sugar, which is used as the primary sweetener in sweet dishes, sanding sugar is a decorative sugar that is sprinkled over cookies or muffins before baking them, or onto the icing of cookies or the frosting of cupcakes.
Using a variety of candy sprinkles and colored sugars, pour one type each into muffin pan cups. Dip cookie dough rounds in sprinkles or sugar before baking. On ungreased cookie sheet, place cookie dough rounds about 2 inches apart. Bake 12 to 16 minutes or until golden brown.

Do sprinkles melt in the oven?
DO THE SPRINKLES MELT IN THE OVEN? The sprinkles will melt slightly in the oven. When the cookies cool, the sprinkles firm back up, but will be adhered to the cookie.
