Funfetti Cookies
Description
The dough is created by creaming softened butter and sugar before adding vanilla extract, almond extract, and a large egg. Dry ingredients including flour, cornstarch, baking soda, and salt are sifted and gradually combined with the wet mixture. Sprinkles are folded in gently to keep their vibrant colors intact.
Balls of dough are scooped onto parchment-lined baking sheets and baked just until edges turn light golden, preserving a soft texture without crispiness. After baking, cookies rest briefly on the sheet before cooling completely on racks.
These cookies are enjoyable plain and ideal for celebrations or everyday treats. They hold their soft texture well and showcase cheerful sprinkles that remain colorful after baking.
