Funfetti Cookies From Scratch

These homemade funfetti cookies are chewy and FULL of sprinkles. No cake box recipe here, these easy and deliciously fun cookies are made from scratch! 

Ingredients

  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • ½ cup brown sugar
  • 2 eggs, large
  • 1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 cups all purpose flour
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • Pinch kosher salt
  • 1 cup classic jimmy sprinkles

Instructions
 

  • Prepare 2 half sheet trays with parchment paper.
  • Sugar cookie batter in a mixing bowl on a gray surface
    In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the butter and sugars on low-medium speed until light and fluffy, about 1 minute. 
  • Add the eggs- one at a time, combining into the mix before adding the next. 
  • Add the vanilla extract. You may have to scrape down the sides of the bowl to mix everything together. 
  • A spatula holding cookie dough
    Add the flour, baking powder and salt and continue to mix until dough forms.
  • Stop the mixer, add the sprinkles and mix by hand, so they don’t break.
  • Funfetti cookie dough balls on parchment paper
    Using an ice cream scooper, or a ¼ cup measuring cup, scoop the dough into even shaped balls and line then up on the sheet trays with about 2” of space in between. Freeze for a minimum of 30 minutes.
  • Sprinkle cookies stacked on each other
    Preheat your oven to 350°F, then bake the cookies for 18-20 minutes or until the edges are golden brown.

Notes

Use classic jimmies, (the line sprinkles) if you use a different kind of sprinkles they may melt or bleed their colors into the dough.
