Substitutions and Variations

Add-ins: Fold in white chocolate chips with the sprinkles.
Vanilla extract: Use almond extract for a different flavor.
Butter: If you only have unsalted butter, add a tiny pinch of salt too.
Sprinkle choices: Use holiday-colored sprinkles for themed cookies or any sprinkles you like.
Serving Suggestions
With a coffee: Pistachio latte, cafe con miel and latte breve are all solid choices.
With hot chocolate: Try a boozy peanut butter hot chocolate or a fun Grinch green hot chocolate with your funfetti cookies.
On a dessert platter: Pair them with other treats, such as apple pie cupcakes and date bars.
As a bedtime treat: For something simpler, cookies are always good with a glass of milk at bedtime!
How to Store Oreo Funfetti Cookies
Store: Keep in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
Freeze: Freeze baked cookies up to 2 months in a single layer then store in bags.
Thaw: Bring to room temperature before serving.
Reheat: Warm in the microwave for 10 seconds if you want a warm treat.
Top Tips
Cover Oreos fully: Make sure the cookies inside the dough aren’t exposed.
Thorough whisking: Whisk the egg and vanilla until light in color and fluffy. That’s how you know the egg is thoroughly beaten and combined. You can use an electric mixer or stand mixer.
Cookie scoop: I used a #40 cookie scoop. You can use a scoop or a large spoon.
Use room temperature butter: It creams better with the sugar.
Don’t overmix: Mix until ingredients are just combined for soft cookies.
Use a prepared baking sheet: Either lightly grease the cookie sheet or use parchment paper to prevent sticking.
Space cookies well: They spread slightly while baking and the Oreo pushes the dough outwards during baking, which means they can spread more than other cookies.
