I haven’t made funfetti cookies in quite a while, so I felt I was due to bake up a batch.  I baked them when it was a little humid, so they came out a little flatter than I preferred, so I made each one into a cookie sandwich.  I think next time, I may add a little more flour, perhaps 1/4 cup more.

I recommend scooping the flour from your flour bag into your measuring cup so you get the right amount.  Also chill the individual mounds of dough for a few hours.  Preheat your ovent to 350 degrees for 20 minutes before baking so it cycles to the right temp.

• Funfetti cookie ingredients
• 1 cup of butter, softened
• 1 1/2 cups sugar
• 2 eggs
• 2 tsp vanilla
• 2 tsp almond extract (or you can omit this if you don’t have it)
• 3 to 3 1/4 cups flour
• 1 1/2 tsp baking soda
• 1 1/2 tbs cornstarch
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1 cup sprinkles

Directions – in a bowl, cream butter and sugar.  Add eggs and extracts.  Blend in dry ingredients.   Fold in sprinkles.   Scoop out 2 tbs dough and form tall mounds.  Chill a few hours. When ready to bake, preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.  Stagger cookies on sheet – alternating a row of 2, then a row of one.  These spread so leave some room.  Bake 10 to 11 minutes.  they will be a little gushy.  Cool completely.  you can also pop them in the fridge to firm them up a bit.

• Filling ingredients
• 1/2 cup butter soft
• 3 cups powdered sugar
• 2 tbs milk
• 1 tsp vanilla

Directions- in a bowl cream butter and powdered sugar.  Add milk and vanilla. 

Assembly – cut each cookie in half.  Spread some filling between 2 halves.  Store in fridge for a few hours.
