Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter room temperature
- 1 ½ cups granulated sugar
- 2 eggs
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 3 cups flour* gluten free or all purpose
- 1 ½ tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ cup Rainbow sprinkles
Instructions
- First, preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a baking pan with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the room temperature butter and sugar until light and fluffy using an electric mixer.
- Add the eggs and vanilla extract and beat until combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour (regular or gluten free), baking powder, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
- Gently fold in the rainbow sprinkles, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
- Scoop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. If desired, press a few extra sprinkles onto the tops of the cookies for decoration.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers may appear soft, but they will firm up as they cool.
- Allow the cookies to cool on the baking pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to completely cool.
- Finally, once cooled, store the Funfetti cookies in an airtight container at room temperature.

Notes
- Use butter that is slightly soft to the touch, but not melted.
- I like to leave the butter on the kitchen counter for an hour before baking.
- Since I am gluten free, I always use gluten free 1 to 1 flour. King Arthur Flour and Bob's Red Mill both work well.
- The dough will be relatively thick.
- Do not bake too long. These cookies are meant to be soft.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
- Freeze for 2 months if needed.
