½ teaspoon salt
½ cup unsalted butter, straight from fridge or room temperature
¼ cup firmly packed light brown sugar
½ cup granulated sugar

Instructions How to Make Funfetti White Chocolate Chip Cookies

Preheat the oven to 350°F and line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper or spray with non-stick spray. (To get best results, use parchment paper)
In a medium bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: flour, baking soda and salt together or you can whisk together as well.
In another large bowl, using an electric mixer at medium speed, beat together the butter, and sugars until smooth and mixed together well.
Add the egg and extract and mix on low speed until mixed in.
Gradually add the flour mixture and mix in until just incorporated. Do not keep mixing – do not overmix.
Add white chocolate chips and sprinkles and continue mixing together using the mixer or stir with a wooden spoon, again no overmixing, just until incorporated.
Using a small or large cookie scoop or heaping tablespoon, drop the dough onto the prepared baking sheets, 6 to 8 per pan, depending on size you are making.
Bake the cookies, 1 sheet at a time, until the bottoms and edges are lightly browned and the tops feel firm when lightly touched.
Small cookies bake 8-10 minutes. Large cookies bake 10-13 minutes.
Let the cookies cool for 5 minutes on the baking sheets, then transfer the cookies to wire racks to cool completely.
This Funfetti white chocolate chip cookie recipe makes 18 -30 cookies depending on size.

Storing Funfetti Cookies

Homemade Funfetti Cookies are best stored in an airtight container at room temperature for 3-4 days.

Tips for Funfetti White Chocolate Chip Cookies

If you want thicker cookies, use the butter straight from the fridge instead of letting it come to room temperature when you start making the cookie dough. Otherwise, just use room temperature butter, making sure the butter is not too warm. Otherwise the cookies will turn out flat. If your cookie dough does get too warm, just pop the cookie dough balls in the fridge for 15-30 minutes.
Make sure you are using sprinkles or jimmies in your cookies that don’t melt or bleed into your cookies. Nonpareils, or the little balls, are much more prone to bleeding color, so you won’t want to use those.
The key to scrumptious funfetti cookies is to make sure you don’t over-bake your cookies! Slightly underbaking will give you the best soft and chewy texture you’re looking for!
Overmixing your cookie batter can lead to a tough cookie and a sprinkle mess. Just mix your batter until it’s just combined with no flour streaks remaining. Also, do not continue to beat the cookie batter after you’ve added the rainbow sprinkles as this will break down the sprinkles and they will bleed into your cookies.
With simple recipes like this, the higher quality ingredients you use, the better! Make sure you’re using a high quality butter, white chocolate chips and good sprinkles instead of the waxy kind.

Other Variations for Your Confetti Cookies

Add in some chocolate chips with your white chocolate chips for a variety of both types of chocolates in your cookies!
Instead of white chocolate chips, you can go with your favorite white chocolate candy bar! Lindt, Hershey’s Cookies and Cream, etc.
Not celebrating a birthday, but want to accessorize for a holiday event? Change the sprinkles to any colors you want and go from there! Christmas – go red and green, Halloween, go orange and black, or Easter – go pastels!
Add in your favorite Oreo cookie bits or golden Oreo bits, and did you know? There are birthday Oreos you can use! Heck yes!! Also consider adding in animal cracker cookie bits! See how fun this can be?
Other add-ins? Any color or flavor of m&m’s, mini or regular sized will work!
