Christmas Funfetti Cookies
Description
The Christmas Funfetti Cookies blend softened butter with brown and granulated sugars, then incorporate eggs and vanilla extract for a rich, creamy base. The dry ingredients of flour, salt, and baking soda are mixed in, followed by adding vibrant sprinkles into the dough. After chilling the dough for at least two hours, balls of cookie dough are coated by rolling in a mix of Christmas-themed confetti sprinkles, creating a colorful exterior.
The cookies bake to a soft texture with a slight crunch from the sprinkles, combining sweetness with festive visual appeal. They lend themselves well to holiday cookie trays or as sweet treats during winter festivities.
The dough freezes well for future baking, and the baked cookies can be stored airtight for up to a week. Gently warming the cookies before serving restores a soft, just-baked feel.
