RAINBOW SPRINKLE COOKIES
Rainbow Sprinkle Cookies are fun for everyone! Imagine a funfetti and vanilla flavored cookie loaded with rainbow sprinkles. The cookies are buttery, soft, slightly crumbly and has bits of sprinkles throughout each bite so they have a slight crunch! These cookies require no-chilling and take 10 minutes to make and 10 minutes to bake– that’s it!
This is the perfect treat anytime you’re craving a cookie. If you love sprinkles, you’ll especially love this treat. The white chocolate drizzle on top makes these cookies even sweeter. Instead of coating the cookie dough balls with sprinkles, the sprinkles are mixed into the cookie dough!
Try my Cheesecake Sprinkle Cookies or Birthday Cake Cookies if you’re a fan of these Rainbow Sprinkle Cookies. They’re very similar, except they are made with cheesecake pudding mix.
