Frosted funfetti cookies, Halloween style, and happy birthday Rachel!

These are a request from my coworker friend Rachel for her birthday.  These are funfetti cookies, Halloween style.  I used these  Halloween sprinkles in the cookies.

And used these on top of the frosting.

Remember to scoop your flour from your flour bag into your measuring cup so you get the right amount.  I also recommend chilling the individual doughs for a few hours before baking.  And, preheat the oven before baking.

If you don’t have cake batter extract, you can substitute vanilla for it.

  • Ingredients list
  • 1 cup butter softened
  • 1 1/2 cups sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 tsp cake batter extract
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 3 cups flour
  • 2 tbs cornstarch
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 to 1/2 cup sprinkles

Directions – in a bowl, cream butter and sugar.  Add eggs and extracts.  Fold in dry ingredients.   Mix in sprinkles.  Scoop out 1/4 cups of dough.  Chill a few hours.  Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.  Stagger cookies on it.  Bake 11 to 13 minutes.  They will likely be a little gushy on top.  Pop them in the fridge to firm them up.

For the frosting i added 1/4 cup homemade white chocolate powder (ground up chocolate chips, powdered milk, powdered sugar and granulated sugar).  Of course, you can leave it out.

  • Frosting ingredients
  • 1/2 cup butter softened
  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • 2 tsp cake batter extract (or vanilla)
  • 2 tbs heavy cream or milk

Magical mermaid graffiti sprinkle cookies

What the what?  I know, a weird name for a cookie.  I saw these sprinkles at price rite and thought “how magical for a cookie.”  So I made a funfetti like cookie dough with cake batter extract and vanilla extracts and poured in a container of magical mermaid graffiti.  Perfectamundo, to paraphrase Arthur Fonzarelli. 🙂

Of course, if you don’t have cake batter extract, you can use vanilla or almond extract. 

Remember to scoop your flour from your flour bag into your measuring cup so you get the right amount.  Also chill the dough for a few hours.  And, preheat the oven before baking.

Chill a few hours. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper or nonstick baking liners.  Stagger cookies on sheet. 

Bake 11 to 13 minutes.  (Bottoms will be lightly browned).  Cookies may be a little gushy.. but let them cool down and pop them in the fridge to firm them up.

Funfetti cookies stuffed with golden oreos

I broke out of the chocolate box with these treats – funfetti cookies stuffed with golden oreos. 

Even my chocolate loving friends will enjoy this very sweet treat!  They have sprinkles!

It is humid, again, so they spread way more than I prefer, so I cut them in half (my work friends would do that anyways 😀).  Next time, I may freeze the individual doughs to try and prevent as much spreading.

This recipe made a lot of cookies!  But is that ever a bad thing?

Remember to scoop your flour from your flour bag into your measuring cup so you get the right amount.  Also freeze the individual doughs to prevent spreading, if you want.  And preheat your oven before baking.

Funfetti cookie sandwiches

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.
