Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup colorful sprinkles (or confetti)
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar (for rolling)
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
- Mix Butter and Sugar:
- In a large bowl, beat the softened butter and 1/2 cup powdered sugar together until creamy and light. Add the vanilla extract and continue to beat until combined.
- Add Dry Ingredients:
- Gradually add the flour and salt to the butter mixture, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Add Funfetti:
- Gently fold in the colorful sprinkles. The dough should be thick and a bit crumbly.
- Form Cookies:
- Roll the dough into small 1-inch balls and place them on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 1 inch apart.
- Bake:
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges of the cookies just begin to turn golden. They should remain soft and not overly browned.
- Cool and Roll in Powdered Sugar:
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once the cookies are fully cooled, roll them in powdered sugar to coat.
- Serve and Enjoy:
- Enjoy these fun, festive cookies with family and friends!
Notes
- Be sure to let the cookies cool slightly before rolling in powdered sugar so the coating sticks well.
- You can adjust the number of sprinkles to your liking. The more sprinkles, the more colorful the cookies!
