Funfetti and Friends
By Nicole H - RPN
Recently a couple of our staff and our awesome Cambridge resident took some time to spread some cheer to one of our families. We all got a chance to catch up and get out for a little bit. It was so great seeing our friend again!
When we got back we decided to keep the FUN theme going by making some truly awesome cookies. FUNfetti for FUN times! Don’t they just look delicious!?
We have provided the recipe below if you want to give it a try as well.
Funfetti Cookie Recipe
Prep Time 15 minutes
Cook Time 12 minutes
Total Time 27 minutes
YIELD 24 Cookies
Ingredients
2 and ⅛ cups (300 g) all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon fine salt
1 cup (2 sticks/227 g) unsalted butter, softened to room temperature
⅔ cup (130 g) granulated sugar
¾ cup (85 g) powdered sugar
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup sprinkles (or up to 2/3 cup)
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 350F/180C. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Set aside.
2. In a medium bowl, sift together flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
3. 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.
4. 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.
5. Store cookies at room temperature in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Cookies can also be frozen for up to 2 months.
