Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) for dairy-free funfetti cookies
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What kind of sprinkles should I use for Funfetti Cookies?
Jimmies or other soft, long sprinkles work best. They're less likely than nonpareils to bleed their colors into the cookie dough.
Can I adjust the amount of sprinkles?
Yes. You can add more or fewer sprinkles depending on how colorful you want the cookies to be.
Can I make these Funfetti Cookies softer or chewier?
Yes. The baking time affects the texture. Bake them slightly less for softer cookies, or a little longer for a firmer, slightly crispier cookie.
Can I use different colors of sprinkles?
Absolutely. Use any combination of colors you like to match a birthday party, holiday, or other celebration.
How do I store Funfetti Cookies?
Store baked cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. For longer storage, freeze them in a freezer-safe container or bag.
Can I freeze Funfetti cookie dough?
Yes. Scoop the dough into individual portions and freeze until firm, then transfer to a freezer-safe bag or container. Freeze for up to 2 months and bake directly from frozen, adding a few extra minutes to the baking time.
