1/2 cup white chocolate chips or melting wafers, optional for drizzling (Ghirardelli melts work great)
Extra sprinkles, optional for topping
Instructions
Heat the oven to 350°F and line a large baking sheet (about 10 x 15 inches) with parchment paper.
Prepare the sugar cookie dough according to the package directions. Once mixed, gently fold in the sprinkles. Use more or less depending on how colorful you want the bark to be.
Spread the dough evenly on the baking sheet into a thin layer, about 1/4 inch thick. A spatula or your hands lightly greased makes this easy. Bake for 10 to 15 minutes, until the edges are just turning golden.
Let the cookie sheet cool for about 30 minutes, then break the cookie into bark-style pieces. The edge pieces will be a little darker and crispier, which is perfect.
Place the pieces back on the baking sheet. Bake the darker edge pieces for another 5 to 10 minutes. Bake the lighter center pieces for 10 to 15 minutes, until everything is golden and crunchy.
Let the bark cool completely. For the best crunch, letting it sit overnight is ideal.
If you want to decorate it, drizzle melted white chocolate over the bark and sprinkle with extra sprinkles while the chocolate is still wet. Let it set before serving.
