Tips for Making this Funfetti Cookie Recipe
- Make sure you have fresh sprinkles. I know too many of us have these decorative colorful goodies in our cupboard but more often than not they’ve been in there too long so they are most likely stale. Stale sprinkles taste terrible and will affect the taste of your cookie. Get some fresh sprinkles which are readily available at almost any store and/or on Amazon.
- ALWAYS gently fold the sprinkles into the dough using a rubber spatula. Under no circumstances should you use an electric mixer to add your sprinkles to the dough, the sprinkles will break.
- Make sure you chill your dough. If you skip this step, the cookies will spread too much and become flat and too crisp.
- The butter should not be too warm before you add the sugar. If the butter is too warm it will melt the sugar and give you a greasy consistency in your cookie and/or the cookies will spread too much.
- Remove the cookies from the oven while they look slightly underdone. Keep them on the hot cookie sheet while they cool as they will finish baking that way. You don’t want dried out cookies
How do you store funfetti sugar cookies?
You should store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days. The cookies can be frozen for up to three months. Make sure the cookies are completely cooked before wrapping them well in plastic wrap and storing them in an airtight freezer bag. Allow the cookies to defrost at room temperature.
The cookie dough for this funfetti cookie recipe can be kept frozen for up to three months. Scoop the cookie dough and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
