Serves: 24 cookies
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup rainbow sprinkles
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper to prevent the cookies from sticking.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together 1 cup of unsalted butter, 1 cup of granulated sugar, and 1 cup of brown sugar using an electric mixer on medium speed until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
- Add the 2 large eggs to the butter and sugar mixture, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Ensure the eggs are fully incorporated before moving on to the next step.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 3 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon of baking soda, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt until well combined.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can lead to tougher cookies.
- Fold in 1 cup of rainbow sprinkles using a spatula or wooden spoon. Ensure the sprinkles are evenly distributed throughout the cookie dough.
- Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading while baking.
- Place the baking sheets in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers are still soft. The cookies will continue to cook slightly after being removed from the oven.
- Once baked, remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheets for about 5 minutes. Then, transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Enjoy your soft, chewy funfetti cookies with a glass of milk or your favorite beverage!
Tips
- Room Temperature Ingredients: Ensure your butter and eggs are at room temperature before you start mixing. This helps achieve a smoother batter and better cookie texture.
- Don’t Overmix: When combining your wet and dry ingredients, mix just until combined. Overmixing can lead to tougher cookies, so be gentle!
- Chill the Dough: For even chewier cookies, consider chilling the dough for about 30 minutes before baking. This helps the flavors meld and can improve the texture.
- Use Parchment Paper: Line your baking sheets with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure even baking.
- Watch the Baking Time: Keep an eye on your cookies as they bake. They should be lightly golden around the edges but still soft in the center. They will firm up as they cool.
- Experiment with Sprinkles: Feel free to mix and match different types of sprinkles for a unique look and flavor.
- Storage: Store your cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week, or freeze them for longer-lasting enjoyment.With these tips, you're on your way to baking the perfect Soft Chewy Funfetti Cookies that everyone will love!
