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.
