Ingredients

• 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• ½ teaspoon salt
• 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1 cup brown sugar, packed
• 2 large eggs
• 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
• ½ cup rainbow sprinkles, plus extra for topping
• 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
• 2 cups powdered sugar
• 1 tablespoon milk (optional, for filling consistency)

How to Make Funfetti Cream-Filled Cookies

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
3. In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
4. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
5. Gradually add the flour mixture to the butter mixture, mixing until just combined. Fold in the rainbow sprinkles.
6. Using a cookie scoop, drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
7. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Remove from the oven and let cool completely on the baking sheet.
8. While the cookies cool, prepare the cream filling by beating the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar together until smooth. If desired, add milk to reach your desired consistency.
9. Once the cookies are completely cool, spread a generous dollop of the cream filling on the bottom of one cookie, then sandwich it with another cookie. Repeat until all cookies are filled.
10. Top each filled cookie with extra rainbow sprinkles for a festive finish.

Tips for the Best Results

• Make sure your butter and cream cheese are softened for easy mixing.
• Don’t overmix the cookie dough after adding the flour to keep the cookies tender.
• For a fun variation, use different colored sprinkles to match the theme of your celebration.

Easy Variations

• Swap out rainbow sprinkles for chocolate chips for a different flavor profile.
• Add a teaspoon of almond extract for a nutty twist.
• For a fruity touch, incorporate dried fruit pieces into the cookie dough.

What to Serve With It

• A tall glass of milk for the classic cookie experience.
• A scoop of vanilla ice cream for a delightful dessert duo.
• Fresh fruit salad for a refreshing contrast.
