Ingredients Notes

This Crumbl Confetti Cookies recipe uses simple ingredients that come together to create that signature soft texture and delightful flavor. Here’s a closer look at the key players.

All-Purpose Flour: This is the base of your cookies, giving them the structure they need. For the best texture, spoon and level your flour rather than scooping it directly from the bag.
Butter: Using softened unsalted butter helps create a rich, buttery base. If you only have salted butter on hand, just reduce the added salt by half.
Granulated Sugar and Brown Sugar: The combination of these sugars gives the cookies their perfect balance of sweetness and chewiness. The brown sugar adds a slight caramel flavor that complements the sprinkles.
Vanilla Extract: This is what gives the cookies that classic vanilla flavor. For the best taste, use pure vanilla extract if possible.
Eggs: These help bind everything together and add richness. Make sure your eggs are at room temperature for easier mixing.
Sprinkles: The star of the show! Use jimmies-style sprinkles (the longer, rod-shaped ones) for the best texture and color. Avoid nonpareils, as they can bleed color into the dough.

No need for a mixer here, though it can make things faster. Just a large bowl and spoon will do!

How to Make These Crumbl Confetti Cookies

Making these cookies is straightforward and fun – no complicated steps required!

Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lining two baking sheets with parchment paper. This ensures your cookies bake evenly without sticking.

In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until it’s light and fluffy. You can use a hand mixer, but a spoon and some elbow grease work just as well.

Next, add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter-sugar mixture, stirring until fully combined. The dough should look smooth and slightly glossy.

Now, add your dry ingredients – the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Stir until just combined, being careful not to overmix. Overmixing can lead to tougher cookies.

Gently fold in your sprinkles to evenly distribute them throughout the dough. Be careful not to mix too vigorously here, as you want the sprinkles to stay intact without bleeding color.

Using a cookie scoop or spoon, drop balls of dough onto your prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Slightly flatten each cookie with your palm to help them spread evenly.

Bake for 9-11 minutes until the edges are set but the centers are still soft. They’ll continue to firm up on the baking sheet, so avoid overbaking. Let the cookies cool on the sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to finish cooling.

Storage Options

These cookies are perfect for making ahead or saving leftovers – if there are any left! Here’s how to store them to keep them fresh.

Room Temperature: Store your confetti cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. They’ll stay soft and chewy, perfect for grabbing whenever you need a sweet treat.
Freezing the Dough: Want to make these in advance? You can freeze the unbaked dough balls on a baking sheet, then transfer them to a freezer-safe container. They’ll keep for up to 2 months. Just bake directly from frozen, adding an extra minute or two to the bake time.
Freezing Baked Cookies: These cookies also freeze well after baking. Wrap each cookie individually in plastic wrap, then place them in a freezer-safe bag. Thaw at room temperature for about 10-15 minutes or microwave briefly to enjoy them warm.

Variations and Substitutions

One of the best things about this Crumbl Confetti Cookies recipe is how adaptable it is. Here are a few ways to change things up!

Chocolate Chip Confetti: Add a handful of mini chocolate chips to the dough along with the sprinkles for a chocolatey twist.
Gluten-Free Option: Substitute the all-purpose flour with a 1:1 gluten-free baking blend to make these cookies gluten-free. Just ensure your sprinkles are gluten-free as well.
Add White Chocolate Chips: For an extra indulgent version, add ½ cup of white chocolate chips to the dough. They add a nice creamy contrast to the colorful sprinkles.
Rainbow Funfetti: Change the sprinkle colors for different occasions! Red and green for Christmas, orange and black for Halloween, or pastels for Easter. It’s a fun way to make these cookies festive all year long.
Almond Extract Swap: Swap half of the vanilla extract with almond extract for a unique flavor twist. Almond and vanilla together create a deliciously sweet and nutty flavor.

These Crumbl Confetti Cookies are a hit just as they are, but don’t hesitate to make them your own. Whether you’re baking for a party, a holiday, or just because, these cookies will be the star of the dessert table.
