I remember the first time I set out to recreate that magic from scratch, determined to capture the essence of those store-bought delights but with my own personal, homemade touch. It wasn’t always smooth sailing; there were a few ‘sprinkle disasters’ and a good handful of trials before I landed on what I believe is the ultimate recipe. Much like perfecting a festive batch of Christmas Maraschino Cherry Shortbread Cookies, the journey to this Funfetti gem was all part of the fun, and absolutely worth every effort.

This isn’t just a cookie; it’s a little bite of pure joy, a perfect edible celebration ready for any occasion that calls for a dash of extra cheer.

Chewy, colorful, and utterly delightful, these Funfetti Cookies are packed with sprinkles and vanilla flavor – the perfect treat for any celebration!

Ingredients

  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened

  • 1 cup granulated sugar

  • 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar

  • 2 large eggs

  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour

  • 1 teaspoon baking soda

  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

  • 1 cup rainbow sprinkles (jimmie style)

Directions

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
  • Beat in the eggs one at a time, incorporating each fully before adding the next. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  • In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
  • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  • Gently fold in the rainbow sprinkles. Overmixing at this stage can cause the colors to bleed.
  • Scoop dough into 1.5-inch balls and place them about 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.
  • Bake for 9-11 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers are still soft. They may look slightly underdone, but they will set as they cool.
  • Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

    • Sprinkle Savvy: Use good quality jimmie-style sprinkles for the best vibrant color and to prevent bleeding. Add them at the very end of mixing and fold gently!
    • The Perfect Chew: Don’t overbake! These cookies are best when the edges are just set and the centers are still a little soft. This guarantees that wonderfully chewy texture you’re after.
    • A Family Secret: For an extra layer of flavor that really makes these shine, try adding 1/4 teaspoon of almond extract along with the vanilla. It gives them a subtle ‘bakery’ taste that’s absolutely delightful.
