Homemade Funfetti Cookies {from scratch}
Description
This recipe for Homemade Funfetti Cookies begins by melting butter and combining it thoroughly with granulated and brown sugars. Vanilla extract and a large egg are stirred in until incorporated. Dry ingredients including all-purpose flour, baking soda, and kosher salt are added to the mixture and gently mixed until just combined to keep the dough soft.
Rainbow sprinkles are folded in last, distributing their bright colors evenly through the dough. Cookies sized by medium cookie scoop (about 1.5 tablespoons each) are arranged on a baking sheet and baked at 350°F for 7 to 10 minutes. The cookies bake to a puffy appearance and remain slightly soft and underbaked in the center, which ensures a chewy texture when cooled.
These cookies are notable for their colorful appearance and soft, chewy texture. Using sprinkles that do not bleed color protects the cookie’s look. Proper measurement of flour prevents dryness or crumbliness. Cookies can be cooled and stored for later enjoyment.
Careful baking time prevents overbaking, keeping the cookies tender. The recipe’s flavor is a straightforward vanilla sugar cookie base with added visual fun from sprinkles.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup butter
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup brown sugar packed
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 1 egg large
- 1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 cup Sprinkles
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 F.
- Microwave the butter for about 40 seconds. Butter should be completely melted but shouldn't be hot.
- In a large bowl, mix butter with the sugars until well-combined.
- Stir in vanilla and egg until incorporated.
- Add the flour, baking soda, and salt. Mix until just combined. Dough should be soft and a little sticky but not overly sticky.
- Gently fold in sprinkles
- Scoop out 1.5 tablespoons of dough (medium cookie scoop) and place on baking sheet.
- Bake for 7-10 minutes, or until cookies are set. They will be puffy and still look a little underbaked in the middle.
Notes
- Measure flour carefully by stirring or sifting first, then spooning and leveling to keep cookie texture soft.
- Use sprinkles that don’t bleed color to maintain the cookies’ vibrant look; Betty Crocker Rainbow Sprinkles are recommended.
- Don’t overbake the cookies to preserve their soft, chewy texture.
