5-Ingredient Funfetti Sandwich Cookies
Yield: 6 cookie sandwiches
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Bake Time: 12-14 minutes
Equipment
- Hand Mixer
- Piping Bag
Ingredients
- Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Roll (Pilsbury)
- 4 ounces cream cheese
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon milk
- Funfetti sprinkles
Directions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
Prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper
Roll out the chocolate chip cookie dough into 1 ½ inch round balls.
Roll in the funfetti sprinkles and place on the baking sheet.
Flatten slightly with fingertips.
Repeat with the cookie dough to make 12 cookies.
Place in the oven and bake for 12-14 minutes or until the edges are just lightly browned.
While the sugar cookies are baking, make the cream cheese frosting filling.
In a bowl add the cream cheese, powdered sugar and vanilla extract.
Use a hand mixer to blend everything together until completely combined.
Then add the milk and mix again until the cream cheese is a smooth texture. If it is still a bit thick add another teaspoon or tablespoon of milk.
Place the frosting in a piping bag
Once the cookies are done, let them cool completely on the baking sheet or transferred to a wire rack.
After the cookies are cooled, flip over 6 of the cookies, so that the bottom is facing up.
Cut a hole in the cream cheese frosting filled piping bag and pipe a thick swirl of frosting on each of the 6 cookies.
Place the other 6 cookies on top of the frosting and squeeze slightly to create cookie sandwiches with the frosting slightly protruding from the edges.
Dip the edges of the cookies into the Funfetti sprinkles if desired for an extra pop of colors.
Enjoy!
Q: Can I use a different type of frosting for the funfetti sandwich cookies?
A: Absolutely! While the recipe calls for cream cheese frosting, feel free to get creative and use your favorite frosting, such as buttercream frosting, strawberry, or even chocolate! You can also use premade frosting if you want!
Q: Can I make the cookies ahead of time and frost them later?
A: Yes, you can bake the cookies in advance and store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two days. Wait to frost them until you’re ready to serve to maintain the freshness of the frosting.
Q: Can I use different colors of sprinkles for the Funfetti cookies?
A: Of course! You can customize the color scheme of your Funfetti cupcakes by using any combination of colorful sprinkles to match the theme of your event or personal preference. Use white and pink for Valentine’s Day! Or red, white, and blue for Memorial Day and the 4th of July!
Q: How should I store the cookies?
A: Once frosted, store the cookies in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. Just be sure to bring them to room temperature before serving to enjoy the best texture and flavor.
