Delightfully colorful and chewy Funfetti Cookies bursting with sprinkles throughout. These classic sugar cookies are soft in the center with a slightly crisp edge, perfect for celebrations or a fun everyday treat. Made with simple ingredients and baked to perfection, they are a joyful twist on the traditional cookie.

Ingredients

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup unsalted butter (melted and cooled until no longer warm to the touch)
  • 1 ⅔ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs (room temperature preferred)
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Dry Ingredients

  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 Tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ¾ teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon table salt

Add-ins

  • ⅓ cup sprinkles (nonpareils, quins, jimmies, or a mix)

Instructions

  1. Combine Butter and Sugar: In a large mixing bowl, stir together the melted, cooled butter and granulated sugar until well combined and smooth.
  2. Add Eggs and Vanilla: Incorporate the eggs and vanilla extract into the butter-sugar mixture, stirring thoroughly to ensure a uniform blend.
  3. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until evenly combined for consistent texture.
  4. Combine Wet and Dry: Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, mixing until the dough just comes together without overworking it.
  5. Fold in Sprinkles: Gently stir the sprinkles into the dough, distributing them evenly to create that classic funfetti look throughout.
  6. Chill Dough: Cover the dough with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, up to 5 days. If chilled longer than a few hours, let the dough sit at room temperature briefly to soften for easier scooping.
  7. Prep Oven and Baking Sheet: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
  8. Scoop Dough: Using a rounded 1½ tablespoon scoop or your hands to roll dough into balls, place on the prepared baking sheet, spacing cookies at least 2 inches apart for proper spreading.
  9. Bake Cookies: Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes. Cookies may look slightly underdone upon removal; this ensures a chewy center as they firm up while cooling.
  10. Cool Completely: Allow cookies to cool fully on the baking sheet before transferring to a wire rack to avoid breakage, enjoying them once set and fragrant.

Notes

  • For best results, use room temperature eggs to help ingredients mix more uniformly.
  • Dough can be chilled up to 5 days; if chilling for extended periods, allow it to warm slightly to ease scooping.
  • Spacing cookies adequately prevents them from spreading into one another during baking.
  • If you prefer crispier cookies, bake an extra 1-2 minutes but watch closely to avoid overbaking.
  • Use a variety of sprinkles like nonpareils, jimmies, or quins for vibrant texture and color.
  • Store cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days to maintain freshness.
