Funfetti Cookies

I have always been a huge fan of cookies, much more than cakes and pies. Whether it is no bake cookies, or cake mix cookies, or something in between, sign me up!

I recently made a big batch of homemade pecan sandies, and it opened up the world of delicious homemade cookies. No more Keebler Pecan Sandies for me, I will make my own. I had been lazy about cookies, either buying them at the store or a local bakery. And the same is true of these sugar funfetti cookies.

See, there is a bakery near by that makes these huge soft batch funfetti sugar cookies, and they are studded with chunks of white chocolate and tons of sprinkles. Well, I found myself in their drive-thru way too often, paying $3-$4 a cookie, when I decided it was time to make my own.

How do you make birthday cake cookies? Look no further! Making sprinkle cookies homemade is simple, and requires ingredients you probably already have. This easy funfetti cookies recipe is no exception. Funfetti cake mix cookies are good, but these homemade funfetti cookies from scratch taste even better. And these softbatch funfetti sugar cookies are school friendly cookies! No nuts to speak of.

These sugar cookies with sprinkles are to-die-for. They are so soft and chewy, but with that perfectly crisp exterior so every bite is sweet and flavorful, and gives you texture and crunch. Basically when you pair this funfetti cookie recipe with a glass of milk, you are set.

The first success I ever had baking was with this easy banana bread. And I quickly learned that baking will turn out every time if you follow some simple rules. Things like how to measure flour, or which ingredients should be room temperature, or always pre-heat your oven will make a big difference in the success of a baked recipe. This is why I want to share some of the tips that will ensure a no-fail success for these homemade funfetti sugar cookies.

Tips for Funfetti Cookies:

These funfetti cake cookies are easy to make, but there are a few things you really should keep in mind:

Measure your flour by spooning it out of the container and into the measuring cup. This will ensure it is not too dense.
Cream your butter until it is fluffy and pale in color. This is so important to getting the right texture and making these funfetti cookies delish, so don’t skip it!
Make sure your egg is room temp. Room temperature is a big deal when baking. So if you forget to pull your egg out early enough to allow it to get to room temp, just pop it in a glass of warm water for 5-10 minutes.
Chill your dough. This is absolutely mandatory. If you don’t, instead of a pillowy-soft, delicious cookie, your cookies will spread, and be thin and crispy, and a completely different texture.
These tasty funfetti cookies will store well for up to a week in an airtight container.
