Equipment

Kitchen Scale (optional)
Baking Sheet
Hand Mixer

Ingredients

1½ cups all-purpose flour 180 grams
2 teaspoons baking powder 8 grams
2 teaspoons cornstarch 15 grams
½ cup salted butter 113 grams, room temperature (1 stick)
1 cup granulated sugar 200 grams
1 large egg 50 grams, room temperature
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract 4 grams
¾ cup white chocolate chips 128 grams
¾ cup rainbow sprinkles 144 grams, divided

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
In a medium bowl, stir the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and cornstarch together. Set aside.
1½ cups all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 2 teaspoons cornstarch
In a large bowl, with a hand mixer, beat the butter and sugar together on medium-high speed until smooth and fluffy. Make sure it is very light and creamed before moving on.
½ cup salted butter, 1 cup granulated sugar
Once the mixture is creamed and fluffy, add in the egg and vanilla extract. Mix together until completely combined.
1 large egg, 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
On low speed, add in the flour, baking powder, and cornstarch mixture. Make sure it is all mixed together by scraping down the sides of the mixer bowl.
Fold in the chocolate chips and ½ cup of the sprinkles.
¾ cup white chocolate chips, ¾ cup rainbow sprinkles
Scoop 1-inch balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet.
Take the remaining ¼ cup of the divided sprinkles and roll each cookie in the mix, gently pressing into the sides.
Bake for 8-10 minutes. Do not let the cookies brown.
Let the cookies rest for 1-2 minutes before taking them off the sheet pan and placing on a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Rolling the cookie dough into sprinkles is completely optional. It adds more color and sweetness, but the cookies will taste just as good without the additional step.
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 of minutes on the baking sheet before transferring them to a wire rack. That way, they won't crumble and fall apart.

Storage: Store funfetti cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, in the refrigerator for up to 5 days, or in the freezer for up to 1 month.
