Funfetti Cookies
Ingredients:
- Funfetti Cookies
- 1 cup butter, softened
- 1 1/2 cups sugar
- 2 eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 3 1/2 cups flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon cream of tartar
- 3/4 cup sprinkles, plus extra to sprinkle on top of cookies
- Buttercream Frosting:
- 1/2 cup butter, softened
- 3 cups powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 2-3 Tablespoons milk
Instructions:
- Funfetti cookies:
- Cream together the butter and sugar with a mixer.
- Add the eggs and vanilla, mixing until smooth.
- Mix in the Greek yogurt until smooth.
- Combine the dry ingredients in a separate bowl and then add to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined.
- Fold in the sprinkles.
- Refrigerate the dough for an hour or two to prevent spreading when baking.
- When ready, preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Roll dough into 1-inch balls and place on parchment-lined baking sheets. Press down with the bottom of a glass or the heel of your hand to flatten slightly for more even baking.
- Bake at 350 degrees F. for 9-10 minutes. They will look underdone when you take them out. Transfer parchment with the cookies to a cooling rack and let cool completely before frosting.
- Buttercream frosting:
- Combine all ingredients with a mixer until smooth. Add more milk or powdered sugar as needed to get the consistency that you like.
- Top each cookie with a generous amount of frosting and add sprinkles. Enjoy!
