Funfetti Sugar Cookies
Soft, buttery, and loaded with colorful jimmies, these Sprinkle Sugar Cookies are the kind of bakery-style cookies that instantly feel nostalgic. They bake up thick and chewy in the center with lightly crisp edges, and every bite is packed with sweet vanilla flavor and pops of sprinkles throughout. Rolling the dough balls in extra jimmies before baking gives them that signature funfetti-style finish that makes them perfect for birthdays, celebrations, or just bringing a little joy into your kitchen.
