Best 5 Funfetti Birthday Cookies Recipes

FUNFETTI COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. Set aside.
• In a large bowl, whisk together the cake mix and baking powder. With an electric mixer, mix in the eggs one at a time. Mix in the vegetable oil and vanilla extract until well combined.
• Roll dough into 1-inch balls. Roll each ball in the nonpareils. Place 2 inches apart on the prepared cookie sheet.
• Use the bottom of a jar or glass to press each cookie to ¼ inch thick. Bake for 7-8 minutes. Allow to cool on the baking sheet before removing to a cooling rack to cool completely.

FUNFETTI COOKIE RECIPE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350F/180C. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Set aside.
• In a medium bowl, sift together flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
• In a mixer bowl fitted with the paddle attachment, beat butter, granulated sugar, and powdered sugar on medium-low speed for 4 minutes. Beat in egg and vanilla extract just until combined. Add flour mixture and beat just until combined. Mix in sprinkles. Do not overmix.
• Shape dough into balls, the size of 1.5 tablespoons each (I use this ice cream scoop for that), and place on the cookie sheets, spacing them 2-inches apart. Bake for 11-12 minutes until cookies just begin to brown at the edges, but the center is still soft (you don't want to overbake them). Allow cookies to cool on baking sheet for 5-10 minutes, then gently transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
• Store cookies at room temperature in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Cookies can also be frozen for up to 2 months.
