Description
Make soft and chewy funfetti cookies bursting with rainbow sprinkles. Easy no-chill dough for colorful, bakery-style cookies at home.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg, room temperature
- 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, spooned and leveled
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup rainbow sprinkles, plus extra for topping
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, cream together butter and sugar using an electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes.
- Add the egg and vanilla extract, mixing until fully combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, cream of tartar, and salt.
- Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet until a soft dough forms.
- Fold in the sprinkles until evenly distributed.
- Scoop 1 1/2 tablespoons of dough per cookie, roll into balls, and dip tops into extra sprinkles.
- Place on baking sheets about 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 9–10 minutes, until the edges are lightly golden but centers still look soft.
- Let cookies cool on the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Use room temperature egg for better incorporation.
- Spoon and level flour for accurate measurement.
- Do not overbake; centers should appear soft when removed from the oven.
