Colorful Funfetti Chocolate Chips Mix Cookies Ingredients

2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
¾ cup granulated sugar
¾ cup light brown sugar, packed
2 large eggs
1 ½ teaspoons pure vanilla extract
1 teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
½ cup rainbow sprinkles (jimmies or confetti-style work best)

Colorful Funfetti Chocolate Chips Mix Cookies Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line your baking sheets with parchment paper (or, as I do, use my old, reliable silicone mats I’ve had since Catrina was a teen).
Melt the butter in a large mixing bowl with the granulated sugar and brown sugar until light and fluffy. I like to play a little tune while I ‘m mixing — it makes the cookies taste even sweeter… I swear.
Add the eggs one at a time beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract and your kitchen is almost ready to smell like home.
In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Add the dry ingredients to the wet and stir just until combined. Don’t over mix – you don’t want the dough to stick to your hands when mixed together.
Fold in the chocolate chips and sprinkles. This is Luna ‘s favorite part – she always eats a couple of chips when she thinks I ‘m not looking.
Pinch tablespoon sized balls of dough and spread them on the prepared baking sheets about 2 inches apart (if you like them to look pretty in the bakery, sprinkle a little extra chips and sprinkles on top of each dough ball).
Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden but the centers still look soft. Remember, they’ll continue to bake a little even after you take them out — that’s the secret to the perfect chewy center!
Let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 min, then transfer to wire rack to cool completely. Or sneak one warm ( I always do ).

Recipe tips

Use room temperature ingredients: Ensure the butter and eggs are room temp before mixing it together. This will help to blend everything together better, and give you cookies that buttery, melt in your mouth texture you get when making those cookies my mom used to make on Sunday afternoons.
Mix sprinkles in by hand: You ‘re better off with a spoon or spatula for the sprinkles, not the mixer. It keeps the colors from mixing into the dough and you get the bright colored effect most kids and grown ups love.
Switch up the chips for fun: Need them different flavors? You can use half white chocolate half milk chocolate chips or mini chocolate chips for something extra tasteful Luna once asked if we had pink ones — so we decided to make Valentine ‘s Day cookies in January for her!

How To Store Colorful Funfetti Chocolate Chips Mix Cookies

Refrigerate: Allow the cookies to cool completely on a wire rack before transferring to an airtight container we used parchment paper for double packing and refrigerating for up to 5 days to keep the cookie fresh and chewy.

Freeze: To eat the cookies longer you can freeze them. It’s best to let them cool completely on a cooling rack. Then layer them up on a baking sheet and freeze them in individual containers for 1 hour. After an hour the cookies should be frozen into a freezer safe bag or airtight container. You can store them up to 3 months. Thaw at room temperature or microwave for a few minutes for that freshly baked taste.

How To Reheat Leftover Colorful Funfetti Chocolate Chips Mix Cookies

In The Oven: Preheat the oven to 300°F (150°C). Put the cookies on a baking sheet and cover loosely with aluminum foil to prevent over browning. Reheat for about 5–7 minutes or until the cookies are warm and soft in the middle.

In The Microwave: Place 1 – 2 cookies on a microwave-safe plate, cover them with a lukewarm paper towel to retain some moisture, heat on medium power for 10-15 seconds. Don’t heat them too long though – it ‘s just enough to resurface those baked softness.

In The Air Fryer: Preheat the air fryer to 300°F (150°C). Put the cookies in the basket or on a tray covered in parchment paper. Cook for 2–3 minutes check on them halfway through so they do not get too crispy.

Frequently Asked Questions

 Can I use salted butter instead of unsalted?

Yes you can. If you’re using salted butter, reduce the salt added in the recipe by half (you can use 14 teaspoon instead of 12) to keep the cookies from tasting too salty.

 What kind of sprinkles work best?

Use jimmies, or confetti – style sprinkles. You do not want nonpareils ( the mini round ones ), which will drip color into the dough and change the texture of the cookies.

 Do I have to chill the dough before baking?

No, but chilling overnight for 30 minutes can help keep the cookies thick and chewy. It ‘ll also allow the flavors to get blended better.
