recipe testing
Some recipes start with an idea, a flavour combo or a title. Others start with a visual. A picture of something I want to create or recreate.
These Funfetti Cookies were born out of my imagination, where I envisioned cookies covered in colourful sprinkles on a pink background. I don’t know why but i could stop thinking about them. So here we are.
They’re everything I dreamed of and more.
What you will need
Just a handful of pantry staples will give you the most amazing, chewy cookies. Here’s what you will need:
- Unsalted butter
- Brown sugar
- Caster sugar: Or granulated sugar.
- Vanilla extract
- Egg
- Plain flour: Or all purpose flour.
- Baking soda
- Salt
- Chocolate chips: I used milk chocolate chips, but you can use dark chocolate or white chocolate chips.
- Funfetti sprinkles: I recommend using jimmy sprinkles – nonpareil sprinkles will bleed into your cookie dough.
There is something therapeutic about making a big batch of cookies. And these Funfetti Chocolate Chip Cookies are no exception.
To make these cookies, you first need to cream the butter and sugar. For these cookies, I use a combination of caster sugar and brown sugar.
Brown sugar is my secret weapon in cookies. It adds so much flavour. And vanilla. I add vanilla to e-v-e-r-y-t-h-i-n-g.
The best part? The fix ins. We’re talking almost a cup of chocolate chips and a ton of funfetti sprinkles. Can you even?
My only advice is to invite friends over when you bake these because these Funfetti Chocolate Chip Cookies are I-R-R-E-S-I-S-T-I-B-L-E.
Tips for making perfect cookies
- Make sure your butter is at room temperature – not fridge cold and no gooey and soft.
- If the recipe says to chill the dough, chill the dough (this cookie recipe doesn’t require chilling)
- Never put your cookie dough on a hot cookie tray, it will cause the butter to start melting and the cookies to spread too much.
- Cookies firm up as they cool, wait a few minutes before carefully sliding them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Hi if I omit the egg what do I use in replace of it?
Jessica Holmes says
Hi, I haven’t tested the recipe without eggs I’m sorry.
Sofia says
Jessica hi!!! Please please please I need a recipe of Funfetti Cookies 🙏🏻🙏🏻😊😊 or Can I do this recipe only with sprinkles? ❤️
Jessica Holmes says
Hi Sofia, yes absolutely!
Sofia says
And… about the quantities? How do? How much sprinkles? The same quantity or more?
Jessica Holmes says
It’s up to you! Maybe add a few extra if you are going to take out the chocolate chips!
Sofia says
Thanks ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Aww love that Julia!
Autumn says
Do you either use milk or chocolate chips, or do you use both?
Jessica Holmes says
Hi Autumn, milk chocolate chips are the type of chocolate chips I use. That’s what regular or sweet chocolate chips are called here in Australia – hope that helps!
Amanda says
Just a tip–use LIGHT brown sugar not DARK. I only had dark in the house so I figured it would be alright–the extra molasses content took all the chew out of the cookie and I had to make a second batch!
Also if you find your cookies to be a little too dry add 1/2 teaspoon of milk. My cookies came out chewy and gorgeous after doing that.
