Description
Soft, chewy, buttery funfetti cookies filled with rainbow sprinkles and rich vanilla flavor, perfect for birthdays, parties, or a cheerful homemade treat.
Ingredients
- 1 cup (226 g) unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup (200 g) granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup (100 g) brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 2 3/4 cups (345 g) all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 cup (150 g) rainbow sprinkles
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, then stir in the vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture and mix until a soft dough forms.
- Gently fold in the rainbow sprinkles until evenly distributed.
- Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each cookie.
- Bake for 10–12 minutes, until the edges are lightly golden and the centers are still soft.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Use jimmies-style sprinkles instead of nonpareils to prevent color bleeding.
- If the dough feels too warm, chill it briefly before baking to reduce spreading.
- White chocolate chips can be added for extra sweetness.
- For a richer flavor, replace part of the vanilla extract with almond extract.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
- Place a small piece of bread in the container to help keep the cookies soft.
- Reheat in the microwave for about 10 seconds for a fresh-baked texture.
- Cookie dough can be frozen in portioned dough balls and baked from frozen with a couple of extra minutes added.
- A 1:1 gluten-free flour blend can be used for a gluten-free variation.
