Funfetti Sprinkle Cookies
Adults and kids alike will love these cookies. Perfectly dunkable in milk or a cup of hot coffee or tea. They are not too sweet and will make you smile! Something about rainbow sprinkles…
The best part? These cookies freeze so well after baking so you can make extra and freeze them to have on demand!
Pro tip - place a scoop of softened ice cream in between two cookies and freeze for a funfetti ice cream sandwich!
Recipe for Funfetti Cookies:

Servings Made: About 25 cookies
Time to Prep: 10 minutes
Time to Cook: 20 minutes
How to Make:
Preheat oven to 325°F. Line a few large baking trays with parchment paper.
Cream butter and sugar together with an electric mixer for 3 minutes until fluffy and lighter in color. Add in flour, baking powder and vanilla. Mix well until loose dough forms.
Finally, crack in egg and mix until soft dough forms. You can add 1-2 tablespoons of sprinkles in the dough now and mix with hands. You want the dough to be soft but not so soft that sticks to your hands when rolling it.
Place a few tablespoons of sprinkles in a shallow dish for topping cookies.
Using your hands, form small balls of dough about 1 tablespoon in size. Take dough ball and gently press and flatten into the dish with sprinkles. Place each cookie on your baking tray about 2 inches apart.
Bake for about 16-18 minutes until cookies light brown on edges. Allow to cool completely on wire racks before handling.
Enjoy!
