Question 1

Why are my cookies tough and dry?

Accepted Answer

If you use too much flour, your cookies will be dry. Use the scoop and scrape method as described in the tips below. Also, overmixing can make your cookies tough and dry. Only mix the batter until the dough is just combined. Then, fold in the sprinkles with a spoon or spatula.

Question 2

Why should I wait until the end to add the sprinkles?

Accepted Answer

If you add them before, they will break down and blend into the cookie dough. Then, you will not have funfetti cookies, you will have streaks in your cookies instead. Also, mixing too much will make your cookies dry and tough, as stated above. After you mix in the flour just enough, so the streaks of white are gone, fold in the sprinkles with a spoon or spatula.

Question 3

Why should the butter and eggs be at room temperature?

Accepted Answer

There are several reasons why you want your baking ingredients to be at room temperature. The first reason is that you want all the ingredients to be at the same temperature so they will cook evenly. Also, room-temperature butter holds more air, so it gives your funfetti cookies a nicer texture. And cold eggs will make the butter stiffen up, making it chunky and hard to combine.
