Ingredients You’ll Need
- For the cookies: One roll of chocolate chip cookie dough and plenty of Funfetti sprinkles for a colorful, chewy base.
- For the cream cheese frosting: Cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and a splash of milk for a smooth, tangy-sweet filling.

How to make Funfetti Cookie Sandwiches
Step 1 Prepare and Bake the Cookies:
Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Roll dough into 1½-inch balls, coat in sprinkles, and lightly flatten. Bake for 12–14 minutes or until edges are lightly browned.

Step 2 Make the Frosting:
While cookies bake, mix cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla, and milk until smooth. (Add more milk if needed.)

Step 3 Assemble the Sandwiches:
Let cookies cool completely. Pipe frosting onto half the cookies, then top with the remaining cookies.

Step 4 Add the Finishing Touches:
Dip edges in sprinkles if desired.

Creative Variations
- Cookies: Swap the chocolate chip dough for sugar cookie dough for a lighter flavor.
- Frosting: Add cocoa powder to the cream cheese mixture for a rich, chocolatey twist.
- Add-Ins: Drizzle melted chocolate or caramel on top for extra decadence.

Essential Tips for Perfect Cookie Sandwiches
- Uniform Sizes: Roll the dough into equally sized balls so they bake evenly and pair up perfectly.
- Don’t Overbake: Remove the cookies when the edges are lightly golden but the centers remain soft for the ideal chewy texture.
- Room-Temperature Cream Cheese: Soften it first for a smoother, creamier frosting.
- Adjust Consistency: Add milk one teaspoon at a time until the frosting reaches your preferred thickness.
- Use a Piping Bag: For a clean and professional look, pipe the frosting onto the cookies instead of spreading it with a knife.

Funfetti Cookie Sandwiches
Ingredients
- 1 Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Roll (Pilsbury)
- 4 ounces cream cheese
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
- 1 Tbsp milk
- Funfetti Sprinkles
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Roll the cookie dough into 1½-inch balls. Coat each ball in Funfetti sprinkles, then place on the prepared baking sheet. Gently flatten the tops with your fingertips.
- Repeat until you have 12 cookies. Bake for 12–14 minutes, or until the edges are lightly browned.
- While the cookies bake, combine the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract in a bowl. Use a hand mixer to blend until well combined.
- Add the milk and blend again until smooth. If the frosting is still thick, add more milk (one teaspoon at a time) until you reach a spreadable consistency. Transfer the frosting to a piping bag.
- Once the cookies are done, let them cool completely on the baking sheet or on a wire rack.
- Flip over 6 of the cookies so the bottoms face up. Cut the tip of the piping bag, then pipe a thick swirl of frosting onto each flipped cookie.
- Place the remaining cookies on top and press gently so the frosting edges protrude slightly.
- Dip the sides of the cookie sandwiches in extra Funfetti sprinkles if desired. Enjoy immediately, or store them in an airtight container in the freezer.
