All Purpose Flour

In a Stand mixer, mix Butter and Sugar together, scrape the bowl.
Add Cream Cheese and mix.
Add the Eggs and mix
Add Vanilla Extract and mix properly.
Take the dry mixture and stir in Sprinkles and Chocolate Chips.
Slowly add the dry mix to the stand mixer bowl while the Mixer is running at a stirring speed.
When the first half cup gets gently mixed, add the next half cup and let mix.

The mixture will be slightly sticky but still manageable. Take some dough as shown in the picture and roll it on your hand. Then slightly press the dough to make a disc like shape.

Place the cookie sheet in the refrigerator for 10 minutes.

Once cold, place in the oven and bake for 13-14 minutes. The cookies should not be brown on sides or on top. They are only slightly brown at the bottom.
Serve as is with a cup of warm tea.

FAQs for Funfetti Cookies:

Can you Freeze these Cookies – yes, you can freeze them Store in an airtight container and they will last a month. Just thaw for a few hours on the kitchen counter before you serve.
Cookies feel dry – Cookies can feel dry if there is too much flour in them. I suggest you sift the flour first, stir with a spoon and then measure so you get only exact amount needed.
Cookie Dough is sticky – The dough can be sticky but should not be overly sticky. You can keep the dough in the fridge for 10-15 minutes and then roll it. Alternatively use a few drops of water to dampen the hands slightly to make rolling easier. Don’t over-wet the hands.
Place the cookie sheet on the center rack so they can bake at even temperature and don’t burn.
Cookies are not sweet enough – I find the sweetness in these cookies just perfect but if you would like you can drizzle some powdered sugar on top or melt some chocolate in microwave at 20 second interval and drizzle on top.

If you make this recipe and love it, remember to stop back and give it a five star rating – it helps other people find it.
