Ingredients
For the Funfetti Cookies:
- 2¼ cups all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¾ cup unsalted butter, softened
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- ¼ cup brown sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ cup rainbow sprinkles
For the Cheesecake Filling:
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- ½ cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2–3 tablespoons heavy cream (as needed)
Instructions
Prepare the Dough:
- Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F). In a bowl, whisk flour, baking powder, and salt. In another bowl, cream butter and sugars until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg and vanilla, then gradually mix in dry ingredients. Gently fold in sprinkles.
Bake the Cookies:
- Scoop tablespoon-sized portions onto a lined baking tray, leaving space between each. Bake for 12–15 minutes until edges are set and centers are soft. Cool completely.
Make the Cheesecake Filling:
- Beat cream cheese until smooth. Add powdered sugar and vanilla, then beat until creamy. Add heavy cream gradually until a spreadable consistency is reached.
Assemble:
- Spread or pipe filling onto the flat side of one cookie and sandwich with another. Chill for 30 minutes before serving.
Notes
- Allow cookies to cool fully before adding filling.
- Use jimmies-style sprinkles to avoid color bleeding.
- Full-fat cream cheese gives the best texture and flavor.
- Cookies will soften slightly after filling, which is ideal.
- Store leftovers in the refrigerator.
