Just throwing it out there after reading the reviews, I'm pretty sure they used a stencil for the sprinkle design.

These cookies were easy, but nothing special. Impossible to sprinkle the sugar on like the picture. I just sprinkled on top of the cookes.

These cookies were amazing and delicious! We are going to make these again, and again, and again. We doubled the amount of peppermint extract. It was impossible for us to make the red pinwheels. After trying for 20 minutes we decided to simply sprinkle the red and green sugar on top. They looked pretty and tasted awesome!!!
