How to Make Funfetti Cake Cookies

Ingredients:

1 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup brown sugar, packed
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup rainbow sprinkles

Directions:

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until smooth.
Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract for added flavor.
In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually blend the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients.
Fold in the rainbow sprinkles gently so they stay bright and colorful.
Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto ungreased baking sheets, spacing them out a bit.
Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden and the center appears set.
Let cool on the sheet for a few minutes before transferring to wire racks to cool completely.
