Instructions

Set the oven temperature to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Shape the chocolate chip cookie dough into small 1-inch balls. Coat them with funfetti sprinkles and arrange them on the baking sheet. Gently press down on each ball with your fingertips to flatten them slightly. Repeat this process until you have made a total of 12 cookies.

Put in the oven and cook for 12-14 minutes, or until the edges have a slight golden color.

Prepare the cream cheese frosting filling while the sugar cookies are in the oven. Combine cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract in a bowl. Use a hand mixer to thoroughly blend all ingredients until well mixed.

Next, incorporate the milk and continue to mix until the cream cheese reaches a velvety consistency. If it remains slightly dense, pour in an additional teaspoon or tablespoon of milk. Transfer the frosting into a piping bag.

After the cookies are finished baking, allow them to cool completely either on the baking sheet or by transferring them to a wire rack.

Once the cookies have cooled down, turn over 6 of them to expose their bottom side.

Make a small incision in the piping bag filled with cream cheese frosting and squeeze out a generous amount of frosting onto each of the 6 cookies.

Arrange the other 6 cookies on top of the frosting, applying a light pressure to create cookie sandwiches where the frosting slightly extends beyond the edges.

Roll the cookie edges in the funfetti sprinkles.

Tips & Tricks (5)

Room Temperature Cream Cheese 🧈
Soften your cream cheese at room temperature for 30 minutes before mixing to achieve a smooth, lump-free frosting that spreads evenly between cookies without tearing them.
Reserve Sprinkles for Frosting 🌈
Save half your Funfetti sprinkles to fold into the cream cheese frosting at the very end rather than using them all in the cookie dough, ensuring vibrant color and maximum visual impact on your sandwiches.
Chill Before Assembling ❄️
Place baked cookies in the refrigerator for 10-15 minutes before assembly to firm them up, preventing them from breaking or crumbling when you spread the frosting between layers.
Vanilla Extract Quality Matters 🎯
Use pure vanilla extract rather than imitation to complement the Funfetti sprinkles with authentic depth—imitation varieties can taste artificial and overpower the delicate cookie flavor.
Gentle Frosting Application 🥄
Apply frosting with an offset spatula or small knife using gentle pressure to distribute it evenly across the cookie surface, avoiding excessive spreading that can push frosting out the sides.
