Thank you for sharing this recipe! Can’t go wrong with Funfetti! So colorful and delicious.
Such cute cookies!!
My friend’s moving house tomorrow and I’m baking these right now for all the friends and family that are helping her out 😀 Thank you for this great recipe, they were just what I was looking for!
Thank you SO much for sharing this. I just baked them, and I have to say that everything about this cookie recipe is perfect. They bake perfectly round, they are slightly chewy on the inside, crispy on the edges. The balance of almond extract is perfect, and they look so festive! I’ll set a few aside to fill as ice cream sandwiches, with a homemade ice cream flavor that I just made. I could eat a whole plate of these, myself.
I am so glad you enjoyed the cookies!
It doesn’t make very many. I think 12. So if you are making them for a party you better rethink.
What a fun festive cookie!!
These cookies are so delicious!!! My family can’t get enough of them!! Thank you for sharing the recipe! This is one will become a go-to cookie recipe for us! Thanks so much!!!
My Funfetti-fan husband’s new favorite cookie…thanks for the great recipe!!
They were a big succes! And so unbelievably easy to make! Even if you don’t have much time you can still whip up some great cookies. So I’m making these for father’s day this weekend. The same cookies twice in 2 weeks? These are quickly rising to the top of my favorites list 😀
They are a favorite cookie around here too:) Glad you liked them!
I love how these cookies taste but mine didn’t spread out to chewy flat cookies…mind ended up the same way I put them in, round balls that I had to flatten with a spatula. What am I doing wrong? I made it twice and both times didn’t spread 🙁
OMG these cookies look sooooo good!! i want to make them now!!!

Glad you liked the cookies!
Thank you for sharing we made these for my babygirls picnic!!!
Hi! How many cookies does this yield?
Thank you!
I just tested this recipe to see if it would be “worthy” of making for my college-age son and his roommates. I want to bring some treats when we go visit him next weekend. Needless to say, I WILL be making these again on later this week to bring to the boys. The almond flavor is SO yummy! And they’re just FUN! 🙂
Yay! I hope they like them too!
These were super easy to make, tasty, perfect for a celebration!
Hi! Wondering if I need to change anything or if the sprinkles will be affected if I make dough before hand and freeze prior to thawing and baking them?
Thank you!
No matter where I take your Funfetti cookies, I am asked for the recipe! These are not only really cute cookies, but they are out of this world. Thank you, Maria.
Thanks!
