Hey look at that – more cookies! As if there haven’t been enough around here lately.
And by “around here” I mean on the blog, not at my house. Because cookies (and all baked goods for that matter) have actually been pretty scarce since Shane and I committed to eating healthier earlier this month. As soon as I bake something we’re sending it off with family/friends or sharing with coworkers. Out of sight, out of mind, right? I guess I should clarify – we’ve always given away a majority of the treats I bake, but previously it wasn’t until we’d sampled enough to make sure they were safe for consumption π
I’ll let you in on a secret though. I kept every single one of these birthday cake confetti cookies for myself, I didn’t even share them with Shane. I ate one warm from the oven and then wrapped the remainder up and hid ’em in my freezer (though since Shane reads the blog I guess the cat’s out of the bag now…). Best occasional splurge ever, especially for a cake batter lover like me! They’re essentially funfetti cookies made entirely from scratch, and they are just as good as you’re imagining them to be right now.
The recipe for these cookies comes from the Momofuku Milk Bar cookbook, which is one of my new obsessions. It’s full of the most off-the-wall, unique recipes I’ve ever seen; I wish there were more hours in the day so I could bake them all! Run, don’t walk, to your local library and see if you can grab a copy to flip through. I borrowed it two or three times before ultimately deciding I simply had to own it.
I’m thrilled to be guest posting for my friend Erin of Dinners, Dishes, and Desserts today. I know you guys will love Erin’s site just as much as I do! So, head on over to grab the recipe for these birthday cake confetti cookies. Happy Friday! π
So fun! I love the sprinkles in these! And I can totally understand why you kept these to yourself!
Beautiful job, Tracey! These are one of my favorite Tosi cookies!
YES PLEASE! I love all things cake and funfetti
oh yes! I love that these are from scratch bc I never have boxed cake mix on hand! These look beautiful! Can’t wait to make these…once this month is over! π
I love everything from Milkbar, I can’t wait to try out these cookies at home!
I keep seeing amazing recipes on blogs from that cookbook and remind myself that I OWN it. Yet I somehow have never cooked from it. For shame. These look too good.
These cookies look so yummy! I’ve made these kind of cookies before but just using a cake mix, I bet they taste amazing from scratch!

I’ve drooled over that cookbook but haven’t tried anything from it yet. Looks like I need to get cooking! These look perfect.
Love these! Sprinkles are always so fun!
Those look perfect and birthday party ready! I so need that cookbook.
You are so good for being good about giving things away – I try to send most of the treats with my husband to work, but I probably “sample” too much!! These look so good, and I can see why you stashed them away!
The Milk Bar cookbook is my favorite and this us my favorite recipe I’ve tried. They are irresistible! I love freezing my baked goods too. It’s such a treat to pull them out a couple months later and relive the deliciousnesss!
I normally bring all my baked goods into work also because I cannot be trusted with them at home…but these definitely look worth keeping! I need to bake from my Momofuku cookbook more!
There can never be too many cookies! These look like cookie perfection. I made the “birthday cake” from that cookbook for my boss’s birthday last month and stored leftover crumbs in the freezer so I could make these cookies.
I have heard many things about momofukus milkbar cookies. These really do look oh so amazing, and I can’t wait to try them. π
Thank you so much for helping out Tracey! I will be making these cookies when I get home, I know my husband will love them, and I have been wanting to try one of her recipes!
Festive cake, confetti and cookies — all combined!
Wow, this looks really cute, perfect for my kiddo’s upcoming party. It’s great to hear that you are opting for a healthier lifestyle, but giving away all of this goodness? Other people must certainly love you!
Tracey, these look so good. I’ve made the blueberry and cream cookies from Momofuku Milk Bar and loved them. Sure these would be no different!
I admire your restraint to eat just one. I also am in love with these tasty treats! Looks delicious!!
Your cookies look so gorgeous, I don’t blame you for keeping them all for yourself!
Hi Tracey – love your recipes. Is “milk powder” the same as powdered milk? For example, Carnation powdered milk. Thanks
