Homemade Funfetti Cookies- No box mix!
These funfetti cookies are soft, chewy, and loaded with sprinkles in every single bite (no cake mix required- this one's made completely from scratch). They taste like a birthday party, they're easy enough to bake with your kids, and once you try the homemade version, you won't go back to the box.
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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Preheat your oven to 350°F, then bake the cookies for 18-20 minutes or until the edges are golden brown.
Notes
Storing and Freezing
Baked cookies stay fresh in an airtight container for about 3 days, or you can freeze them for up to 2 months. You can also freeze the raw dough for freshly baked cookies any time. Scoop and freeze the dough balls on a sheet tray for an hour, then transfer them to a freezer safe bag. Bake straight from frozen whenever you want a warm cookie, no defrosting needed.
