Instructions Funfetti Cookie Layers Melt butter in the microwave for 30 seconds to 1 minute. Once fully melted place it in the freezer to cool down while you do the next two steps. Preheat your oven to 325° F (163° C) and center your oven rack. Prepare 3- 6 inch cake pans with parchment paper and cooking spray. Set aside. In a medium sized bowl add the flour, baking soda, salt, and cornstarch. Whisk until incorporated. In a large bowl add the cooled butter, brown sugar, and granular sugar. Whisk until the mixture becomes a pale brown color. Takes two to three minutes. Add the whole egg, egg yolk, and vanilla. Whisk until incorporated. Takes two to three minutes. Add the dry ingredients. Using a spatula, fold until partially incorporated. Takes one to two minutes. Add the white chocolate chips and funfetti sprinkles.

Lightly flour your hands and press the mixture so it becomes an even layer that reaches all the way to the edges of the pan. Bake for 20 to 28 minutes or until the edges and top are golden brown. Toothpick test to make sure your layers are done, there should be next to no batter come off on it. Remove from the oven and let them rest in the pan until they are room temperature. After ten minutes of cooling take a butter knife and run it around the edge of the pan (for easy removal later). Once your cookie layers are fully cooled, remove them from the pans and set aside.
