Our cookies are filled with bright sprinkles to make a plain ol’ sugar cookie all dressed up for a celebration!
you're making mealtime meaningful.
We love fun and festive treats around here, so naturally, we’re crazy about these “funfetti” cookies. They’re basically sugar cookies with rainbow nonpareils added to the batter, so they’re as simple as they are whimsical. We like to take them to parties to add some fun color to the dessert table.
The dough comes together quickly in this recipe, and it chills in the fridge before baking, which means we can make a batch ahead of time and pop them in the oven the next day. We bake these cookies until they’re just barely done, that way they stay slightly chewy, rather than getting super crisp. A cookie like this is impossibly sweet and delicious, and the disappear in a flash! Make up a batch (or two!) of our “confetti”-filled cookies for an easy and fun way to satisfy your sweet tooth.
