Yes! These cookies are freezer friendly. They’ll stay fresh in the freezer for up to 1 month. When storing them, I recommend placing them in a durable Ziplock bag that’s insulated with paper towels. When you’re ready to enjoy them, let the cookies thaw at room temperature for a few hours, and they should be good as new!
The best part of funfetti cookies is that “fun” is literally in the name! You can get creative with these cookies in so many ways. One of my favorite things to do is to pipe frosting in the middle of 2 cookies and make a funfetti cookie sandwich! While white chocolate chips are my favorite, stores lately have tons of different options. Just the other day, I saw unicorn chocolate chips at the grocery store. Those would be too cute baked into these cookies!
Recipe Tips and Tricks
- Making these cookies around Christmas? Swap the rainbow sprinkles for red and green sprinkles for a fun, festive twist!
- Do NOT allow these cookies to brown! Usually, you can tell when cookies are done baking when they begin to brown around the edges. If these cookies brown, however, that means they’re over-cooked.
- Let the cookies cool for a couple minutes on the baking sheet before transferring them to a wire rack. That way, they won’t crumble and fall apart.
Next time you want to celebrate something special, or just want to make everyone smile on a Tuesday afternoon, whip up a batch of these sweet funfetti cookies.
