Funfetti cookies are a type of rolled sugar cookies that are loaded with rainbow sprinkles! Everyone will love these sprinkle cookies. You don’t need to chill the dough so these birthday cookies are ready in 30 minutes!
Pre-heat the oven to 350ºF. In a small mixing bowl combine the flour, cornstarch, baking soda, salt and sprinkles. Set aside.
In a mixing bowl, beat the butter and sugar, with an electric mixer for 1 minute. Add in the egg and extracts, beat again to combine, 30 seconds.
Gradually add in the dry ingredients, mixing on low or by hand with a spatula.
Place 1/4 cup sugar in a bowl for rolling the cookies. Use a cookie scoop to form balls. Roll each ball in the sugar. Place the cookies 2 inches apart on a silicone lined baking sheet. Bake in batches as needed.
Bake for 12-14 minutes. Allow the cookies to cool for 15 minutes before eating.
Notes
For the cookies in the photos, the dough balls were about 3 heaping tablespoons, so that’s a large cookie! I baked those for 12-14 minutes. If you make smaller dough balls, you should reduce the baking time otherwise the cookies will be over done.
I’ve made this recipe with both regular and gluten free flour with awesome results on multiple occasions. I recommend King Arthur’s Gluten Free Measure for Measure Flour. Use it as a one for one substitute for regular flour.
