Soft, buttery, and full of colorful rainbow sprinkles, these Funfetti Cookies are a celebration in every bite. Easy to make and perfectly chewy, they’re ideal for parties, holidays, or anytime you need a cheerful, sweet treat.

Ingredients

1 cup butter, softened

1 1/4 cups granulated sugar

2 teaspoons vanilla extract

1 teaspoon almond extract

1 large egg

2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

3 tablespoons cornstarch

3/4 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup rainbow sprinkles (preferably jimmies)

Instructions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter and sugar with an electric mixer for about 2 minutes, until light and fluffy.
  2. Add the vanilla extract, almond extract, and egg; mix until fully combined.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, baking soda, and salt.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Fold in the rainbow sprinkles until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
  6. Use a medium cookie scoop (about 2 tablespoons) to form dough balls and place them on a tray. Chill for at least 30 minutes or up to 24 hours.
  7. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  8. Arrange the chilled dough balls 2 inches apart on the prepared sheet and bake for 9–11 minutes, until the edges are set and the tops look dry.
  9. Let cookies cool on the tray for 5–10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes to help cookies hold their shape.

Use jimmies-style sprinkles for best results; nonpareils may bleed color.

Add white chocolate chips for extra sweetness or roll dough balls in sprinkles before baking for more color.

For festive variations, use seasonal sprinkles or add frosting once cooled.

Store at room temperature up to 5 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
