Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Soft Funfetti Cookies
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. Sift together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and fine salt in a medium bowl.
  3. Beat the softened unsalted butter with granulated and powdered sugars on medium-low speed for about 4 minutes until light and fluffy.
  4. Add one large egg and pure vanilla extract to the creamed mixture and mix until just incorporated.
  5. Gradually add the flour mixture and mix until just combined, then gently fold in the colorful sprinkles.
  6. Use a small ice cream scoop to portion out 1.5-tablespoon balls of dough and place them 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.
  7. Bake for 11-12 minutes until the edges are golden and the centers remain soft.
  8. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5-10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Avoid overmixing to keep cookies light and chewy. Ensure fresh baking soda for the best rise. Chill dough for 30 minutes for thicker cookies.
