Funfetti Cookies
To make Funfetti Cookies, cream butter and sugar, fold in sprinkles, vanilla, and white chocolate, and bake only until the edges set so the centers stay tender. They work because the center gets pulled while it still has a little give left in it.
These funfetti cookies cream the butter and sugar properly, then fold in sprinkles and white chocolate for a cookie that looks like a party and tastes just as good. Soft, chewy, and a little nostalgic.
They're a good birthday treat or a fun bake for a celebration. Pull them from the oven while the edges are just set so the centers stay soft.
