Wrap dough in clingfilm/plastic wrap refrigerate until firm, at least 1 hour, or overnight.

Preheat oven to 375° F (190° C). Line a half sheet rimmed baking tray with parchment or a silicone baking mat.

Remove dough from the refrigerator and allow it to come up to room temperature for a few minutes, until just soft enough to scoop.

With a 1 1/2-inch cookie scoop, form dough into golf ball-sized balls. (You should have about 16-18 total.) With your hands, roll until smooth, then roll each ball in chocolate sprinkles.
