Funfetti thumbprint cookies with rainbow sprinkles, filled with white chocolate ganache. A joyful treat for any day.
Ingredients:
  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2  teaspoon salt
  • 1/8  teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup white sugar
  • 1/4 cup firmly packed light brown sugar
  • 1 egg at room temperature
  • 2  teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1/4  teaspoon almond extract
  • 1/2 cup rainbow sprinkles
Instructions:
  • Combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and nutmeg, whisking them together in a bowl until well blended.
  • In a large bowl, cream together butter and cream cheese until smooth using an electric mixer. Add white sugar and brown sugar and beat until light and fluffy. Mix in egg, vanilla extract, and almond extract until fully incorporated. Gradually add flour mixture in two parts on low speed, mixing until just combined; gently fold in sprinkles. Cover the dough and chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, or overnight for best flavor.
  • Form dough into tablespoon-sized balls and chill on a plate while preheating the oven.
  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper and place dough balls 1 inch apart on them.
  • Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10 to 12 minutes until just set. While still warm, use the handle of a wooden spoon or spatula to create a 1/2-inch wide and 1/2-inch deep indentation in each cookie, dipping the tool in sugar as needed to prevent sticking. Transfer the cookies from the baking sheets to a wire rack to cool completely, approximately 20 minutes.
  • Combine white chocolate chips and heavy cream in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave for 30 seconds until the white chocolate is completely melted. Fill each cookie with approximately 1/2 teaspoon of the white chocolate ganache, and for extra flair, top with additional rainbow sprinkles before the ganache sets.
