Easy Funfetti Sugar Cookies
These Easy Funfetti Sugar Cookies are the perfect birthday cake-inspired sugar cookies with sprinkles - no chilling, rolling or cutting required!
Recipe: Ingredients
- 6 tablespoons butter
- 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
- 2 ounces cream cheese at room temperature
- 5 teaspoons milk
- 1 egg
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 1/4 cups all purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup sprinkles (use sprinkles, not round nonpareils, as this will prevent the cookie dough from becoming coloured)
Recipe: Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and prepare baking sheets by lining them with parchment paper.
- Melt the butter in the microwave until completely liquid. Pour it into a mixing bowl (with a hand mixer) or into the bowl of your stand mixer, and add the sugar. Mix on medium-high speed until the mixture is smooth and the sugar begins to dissolve slightly.
- Add the cream cheese, milk, egg, and vanilla, and mix well on medium high speed until everything is incorporated and the mixture is smooth.
- Add the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt, and mix on low speed just until incorporated.
- Mix in the sprinkles on low speed, just until they're distributed evenly throughout the dough. Save a tablespoon or so of sprinkles to add to the top of the cookies, if desired.
- Use a cookie scoop or a tablespoon to drop the dough by the tablespoon onto the prepared baking sheets.
- Use the bottom of a measuring cup or the bottom or a glass to press down the top of each cookie. Top with any reserved sprinkles (optional).
- Bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for about 10-11 minutes, or until the tops of the cookies lose their shine.
- Let the cookies cool on the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Recipe: Notes
These cookies keep well in an airtight container at room temperature for about 2 days. They freeze well in an airtight container and the keep in the freezer for up to one month.
This recipe makes anywhere from 18-24 cookies, depending on the size. For 24 cookies, reduce the baking time by one minute and check the cookies to ensure they're baked before removing them from the oven.
