Funfetti Cookies

Nothing says ‘celebration’ like rainbow sprinkles! These simple sugar cookies are a fun addition to any party spread and are especially likely to be a hit with the kids.

The recipe is quick. The cookies only take about 10 minutes in the oven.  They will look undercooked and very soft. That’s ok – they will continue to bake as you let them cool on the cookie sheet.

Ingredients
  Unsalted butter, softened ¼ cup (2oz/60g)
  Caster sugar ½ cup
  Egg 1, at room temperature
  Plain flour ¾ cup
  Baking powder ½ tsp
  Baking soda ½ tsp
  Rainbow sprinkles ¼ cup

Method
1. Add the butter, sugar and vanilla to a large mixing bowl, and beat on ‘high’ with an electric beater for about one minute. 
2. Add the egg and beat until well mixed. Sift in the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt and stir with a metal or wooden spoon. 
3. Add the sprinkles and stir to combine. Take heaped teaspoons of the cookie dough and roll into balls. Place the cookie dough balls (you should have about 20) in a plate or tray, and refrigerate for two to three hours.
4. Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Bake the cookies for nine to 10 minutes. 
5. Remove them from the oven and leave to cool on the baking tray for five to 10 minutes. Then place on a wire rack to cool completely.

The cookie dough can be made up to two to three days in advance. Store it in the refrigerator until you’re ready to bake. The more time it has to chill, the better.

Makes approximately 20 cookies.
