Funfetti Cookies
Soft, chewy, and loaded with sprinkles, these funfetti cookies are made from my master chocolate chip cookie dough with a few fun twists—white sugar for crisp edges, baking powder for a soft lift, and a full cup of rainbow jimmies. They’re colorful, festive, and taste just like birthday cake in cookie form!
