# Ingredientes:

→ Cookie Dough

01 - 1 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
02 - 1 cup granulated sugar
03 - 1 large egg
04 - 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
05 - 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
06 - 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
07 - 1/4 teaspoon salt
08 - 1/3 cup rainbow sprinkles

→ Turrón-Inspired Filling

09 - 1 cup blanched almonds, finely chopped
10 - 1/2 cup powdered sugar
11 - 2 tablespoons honey
12 - 1 tablespoon water
13 - 1/4 teaspoon almond extract
14 - Pinch salt

→ Decoration

15 - 1/4 cup white chocolate, melted
16 - 2 tablespoons rainbow sprinkles

# Instrucciones:

01 - Preheat oven to 350°F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
02 - In a large bowl, cream together the unsalted butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until thoroughly blended.
03 - In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually incorporate the dry mixture into the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined.
04 - Gently fold in 1/3 cup rainbow sprinkles. Chill the cookie dough in the refrigerator for 15 minutes to firm up.
05 - While dough chills, in a small saucepan over low heat, combine honey and water. Warm gently, then incorporate powdered sugar, finely chopped almonds, almond extract, and a pinch of salt. Mix until a thick, sticky paste develops. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
06 - Once chilled, divide cookie dough into 18 to 20 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a log approximately 4 inches in length. Flatten gently with your fingers.
07 - Spoon a thin ribbon of the turrón filling down the center of each flattened log. Fold dough over filling, sealing edges and rolling gently to reshape into sticks. Place seam-side down on prepared baking sheets.
08 - Bake in preheated oven for 12 to 14 minutes, or until edges are turning golden. Allow sticks to cool on trays for 5 minutes, then transfer to wire racks to cool completely.
09 - Drizzle cooled sticks with melted white chocolate and finish with additional rainbow sprinkles. Let chocolate set before serving.
