Funfetti Cookies
These Funfetti Cookies are perfectly sweet and loaded with rainbow sprinkles! They are made with pantry ingredients and have perfect crispy edges and a soft, chewy center.
Servings: 22 cookies
Ingredients
- 1 ⅓ cups granulated sugar
- ½ cup unsalted butter cool but pliable
- 1 large egg
- 1 tablespoon whole milk
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- ¼ teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ cup sprinkles
Instructions
- Whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl. Set aside.
- In a stand mixer bowl fitted with a paddle attachment, cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add the egg and beat until there are no visible streaks of egg.
- Add the milk and vanilla extract. Mix until just combined.
- Reduce the mixer to low and add the dry ingredients in three additions, waiting until almost all the flour has been incorporated before adding the next. Add the sprinkles after the last of the flour mixture has been incorporated.
- Scoop with a 2-tablespoon cookie scoop or roll into balls about golf ball size. Chill the dough before baking. Bonus points for freezing!
- Preheat the oven to 325°F convection.
- Place the cookie dough balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes until the edges are a nice golden brown, the centers have puffed, and the surface looks matte, not shiny. Cool completely. You can cool them on a cooling rack or on the baking sheet.
Notes
Yield – 22 cookies with a 2 tablespoon scoop
Flavor Tips – It takes a while, but rainbow sprinkles can go bad. They lose their color and taste dull and have an off flavor to them. Be sure your sprinkles are still good before putting them in the cookies.
Variations – Add almond extract for a fun alternative to vanilla funfetti cookies.
Storage—These cookies can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 10 days or frozen for 2 months.
