Who doesn't love Funfetti cake? Here's my version of its cookie counterpart!
Ultimately, it's your classic sugar cookie that's ready for a party. Super simple and quick to make, I think I had my first taste in less than a half hour of putting the first ingredient in the bowl! These are also great to theme depending on the season - red, white, and blue sprinkles for the 4th of July, red and green for Christmas, fall colors for Halloween/Thanksgiving, etc.
Be warned, however - these soft, buttery cookies are addicting and I find it nearly impossible to have just one!
Servings: 2 doz cookies
Prep Time: 10 min
Total Time: 20 min
INGREDIENTS:
2 & 1/8 cup flour
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 cup (2 sticks) butter, softened
2/3 cup sugar
3/4 cup powdered sugar
1 egg
1 tsp vanilla extract
2/3 cup sprinkles
DIRECTIONS:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper or silicon baking mats.
In a mixing bowl (I used my stand mixer, but you can also use a hand-held mixer), beat butter, sugar, powdered sugar, and vanilla on medium low for 4 minutes. Beat in egg.
Reduce speed to low and add flour, baking soda, and salt.
Hand mix in the sprinkles with a spatula or large spoon.
Scoop out ping-pong ball sized balls of dough (roughly 1.5 Tbsp - I used a small ice cream scoop) and place on the prepared cookie sheets 2 inches apart.
Bake for 10 minutes. Allow to cool on the cookie sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
