Funfetti Christmas Cookies
Description
The cookie dough combines creamed softened butter and sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract, creating a rich base. Dry ingredients include all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, baking soda, and salt, which are mixed in gradually to form a smooth dough. Semisweet chocolate chips and sprinkles are folded in to add texture and colorful accents. Chilling the dough helps control spreading and develops flavor.
Cookies are scooped and baked at 350°F for 11-13 minutes; they may look slightly underbaked but will finish cooking on the hot baking sheet, resulting in a soft, chewy center with gentle crispness around the edges. Allowing cookies to fully cool before removing prevents breakage and maintains shape.
These cookies provide a festive treat that combines familiar chocolate flavors with a playful sprinkle effect, suited for holiday celebrations or casual sweet snacking.
Ingredients
- 1 cup butter softened, unsalted
- 1 ⅔ cup sugar
- 2 egg large
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 3 ⅓ cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons corn starch (corn flour in UK)
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 ½ cup semisweet chocolate chips
- ⅓ cup Sprinkles
Instructions
- Beat butter in the bowl of a stand mixer until well-creamed.
- Add sugar and beat on high speed until well-combined and light and fluffy (about 1 minute).
- Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.
- Stir in vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, cornstarch, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Set mixer to low speed and gradually stir dry ingredients into butter mixture. Add ingredients and stir until well-incorporated.
- Fold in chocolate chips and then sprinkles. Cover with clear wrap and chill in refrigerator for 30 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 350F (177C) and line a cookie sheet with parchment paper
- Once dough has finished chilling, drop by heaping 1 ½ Tbsp scoops onto prepared cookie sheets. Bake on 350F (177C) for 11-13 minutes (cookies will appear slightly underbaked still -- this is fine and they'll finish baking on the cookie sheet). Allow cookies to cool completely on cookie sheet before removing.
