⅔cupwhite candy melts or chopped almond bark

Instructions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Sift the flour, cocoa powder, and salt into a small bowl. Cream butter and sugar with a mixer until pale and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes. Add the yolks, milk, and vanilla; beat for 1-2 minutes or until thoroughly incorporated. Scrape sides of bowl. Beat in flour mixture until just combined.
Pour the sprinkles onto a plate. Take one tablespoon of dough and roll it into a ball, then roll the ball in the sprinkles until thoroughly coated. Repeat with remaining dough. Place the balls of dough 2 inches apart on parchment-lined baking sheets. Using the bottom of a drinking glass coated in cooking spray, gently press down on each cookie to flatten it. Bake for 11-13 minutes or until cookies are set. Let cool slightly on baking sheets. Transfer cookies to wire racks and let cool completely.
Place the dark chocolate melts or almond bark in a bowl and microwave at 30 second intervals, stirring in between each interval until melted. Pour the melted chocolate into a piping bag fitted with a small round tip. Alternatively you can use a resealable freezer bag with a corner snipped off.
Pipe a dot of chocolate onto the back of each candy eye and place the eyes onto the cookies. Pipe on the eyebrows, nose and mouth. Let the chocolate dry completely.
Place the white chocolate melts or almond bark in a bowl and microwave at 30 second intervals, stirring in between each interval until melted. Pour the melted chocolate into a piping bag fitted with a small round tip. Alternatively you can use a resealable freezer bag with a corner snipped off.

The cookies can be served immediately or stored at room temperature for up to 2 days.
