Soft, chewy funfetti sugar cookies sandwiched with absolutely divine marshmallow fluff buttercream.
These funfetti sugar cookies have been on my to do list for a while now. So this week I finally got around to making them. It has been a very stressful, busy summer for me. With the children on vacation, work and a hundred thousand things I had to do, baking these cookies was therapy. There is sometime about funfetti that makes me happy, joyous and want to azonto.
The funfetti cookies are soft and just melt in your mouth with each bite. Â Filled with creamy marshmallow buttercream these cookies are just delicious. A perfect cookie sandwich.
With the rainy, miserable weather we’ve been having lately  in England, these funfetti sugar cookies
brought some much needed cheer.
You too can sprinkle some funfetti happness into your life by baking these funfetti sugar cookies. Raise your cookie and glass of milk and toast to a happy September.

Pre-heat oven to 170 degrees celcius. Bake cookies for 8- 10 minutes.
Remove from oven and leave to cool slightly on tray before turning onto a cooling rack to cool completely.

Notes
Avoid overmixing once the flour is added to prevent cookies becoming hard and tough Bake cookies until they are almost done then take them out of the oven. The cookies will continue to bake as they settle and cool on cookie sheet Baking cookies for 8 to 10 minutes makes them soft and chewy
On my, Chi chi, my son could not contain himself when he saw this funfetti sugar cookies. He goes nuts over funfetti. I guess I have just have to make it .Thanks for posting.

Thank you Chris. The marshmallow buttercream is truly wonderful 🙂
I wish I had a few of these yummy cookies to much on right now! They look gorgeous! 🙂
Thank you so much Jocelyn 🙂
they came out very hard for me, do you know what i did wrong???
Sorry to hear the cookies came out hard. Cookies may come out hard if the batter was over mixed once the flour was added. Underbaking cookies produces a soft cookie. Bake cookies until they are almost done then take them out of the oven. The cookies will continue to bake as they settle and cool on cookie sheet. Hope this helps.
wow, looks so cute.
Thank you Amallia
