These Easy Easter Funfetti Cookies are soft, thick, and bursting with pastel sprinkles. Made in one bowl with no chilling required, they’re the perfect quick and festive treat for Easter brunches, egg hunts, or any spring celebration.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup (113g) unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
  • 3/4 cup (150g) granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup (50g) light brown sugar, packed
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups (190g) all-purpose flour, spooned and leveled
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup (80g) pastel sprinkles (jimmies or confetti quins)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats.
  2. Melt the butter in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second bursts until fully liquid. Set aside to cool for 2-3 minutes.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until smooth and glossy.
  4. Add the egg and vanilla extract, then whisk vigorously for about 30 seconds until the mixture is pale and slightly thickened.
  5. In a separate small bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
  6. Add the flour mixture to the wet mixture. Use a rubber spatula to fold gently until just combined (a few streaks of flour are okay).
  7. Gently fold in the pastel sprinkles until evenly distributed.
  8. Using a 1.5-tablespoon cookie scoop, portion the dough into balls and place them 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets (8-9 cookies per sheet).
  9. Bake one sheet at a time for 10-12 minutes, until the edges are set and lightly golden but the centers still look soft.
  10. Let the cookies rest on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire cooling rack to cool completely.
  11. Repeat with remaining dough, letting the baking sheet cool completely before adding more dough.

Notes

For best results, use high-quality ‘color-safe’ sprinkles to prevent bleeding. If your kitchen is warm, chill the dough for 15 minutes before baking. For a bakery-fresh look, press a few extra sprinkles onto the tops right after baking.
