Why This Recipe Rocks

In my experience, kids love sprinkles! That makes our confetti cookies perfect for any occasion you want to make special cookies for your kids.

These colorful cookies are also perfect for a party or any occasion where cookies are shared. 

These are delicious, soft-baked cookies. Great with a glass of milk or coffee.

Ingredients for Confetti Cookies

Confetti Cookies Ingredients.

Cream Cheese. I like to purchase a name-brand cream cheese and not generic because generic dairy items sometimes have unnecessary added ingredients. You will need half of a stick or ½ cup.

Butter. Real butter is preferred.

Granulated Sugar. 

Egg.

Vanilla. I use real vanilla extract as imitation vanilla can add an odd aftertaste.

All-Purpose Flour. 

Baking Soda. Make sure your baking soda is fresh. I buy new after six months if I haven't used the box. Old baking soda will ruin a recipe.

Salt. Regular cooking salt is fine. 

Rainbow Sprinkles. Honestly almost any sprinkles will work but the cookies shown were made with rainbow sprinkles, which are bright, colorful, and festive. These rainbow sprinkles are called jimmies because of their long rectangular shape.

Supplies You Need

  • Mixer hand-held electric mixer or stand mixer 
  • Baking Sheets 
  • cookie scoop
  • Parchment Paper 

How to Make Confetti Cookies

First, preheat your oven to 350º so that it's ready when your cookies are ready to bake. If you do not preheat your oven your cookies may bake unevenly and it will be hard to predict when they are finished. 

I love using parchment paper to make cookies because then I can use my cookie sheets over and over and they are super easy to clean up once I'm finished baking. So the next step is to line your baking sheets with parchment paper and set them aside. 

Like most cookie recipes, you will want to cream together the fats and sugar first and beat that with the mixer until everything is nice and fluffy. 

Once you've creamed the sugar and fat, add the rest of the liquid ingredients and mix well. 

Dry ingredients can be added all at once and mixed in with the hand mixer.

If you want nicely consistent cookies, use a cookie scoop to drop scoops of dough into a bowl containing your sprinkles of choice. Roll one side of the cookie all around in the sprinkles to get it evenly covered and press down a little bit.

Finally. space the cookies evenly apart on your baking sheet and bake them for ten to twelve minutes. We prefer soft and chewy cookies so I usually err on the side of removing the cookies early. If you prefer crunchy cookies bake for the full twelve minutes.

Recipe FAQs

Can I use a different kind of sprinkle?

Yes! Many different kinds of sprinkles will work just fine for this recipe. Jimmies will yield the best results but other sprinkles will work too.

Can I use generic or low-fat cream cheese?

You are making a dessert, and low-fat cream cheese really will not work in this cookie recipe. All cookies need fat and the cream cheese provides roughly half the fat necessary for a perfect cookie in this recipe. Using low fat will mess the cookie up. Generic cream cheese sometimes has added fillers, so I personally stay away from those. 

Why are these called Confetti Cookies?

Because their colorful sprinkles resemble confetti, making these the perfect party cookie.

    I so agree about generic! I'd have to go local or Philadelphia cream cheese here. Sprinkles make everything so magical!

Hi, I'm Raquel! I am a self-proclaimed foodie and have enjoyed cooking and baking since I was little. I loved baking cookies with my mother and grandma as a child, and later making dinners for my parents to foster my passion while in high school. I also had a passion for organizing and keeping things tidy.
