A funfetti cookie sandwiches yummy cookie dough decorated with sprinkles and flavored with princess extract. Couldn't be any better than that! But then there is also the buttercream that is in between those cookies so that makes it so much better! Oh, and kids will absolutely love them too!These funfetti cookie sandwiches are made with princess extract, which is a delicious emulsion that I have in my kitchen at all times. (More about this down below.) If you don't want to buy the princess extract than that is completely up to you. You can use almond extract instead or just stick to plain vanilla. The flavor isn't what really matters with these cookies, it's the fun of the sprinkles that are mixed in them!

Above are some products that I personally use and recommend for this recipe and to have for everyday use. One thing these cookies have in them is princess extract. Now this extract is delicious and is one of my favorite things to have in my kitchen at all times. It's a mix of vanilla, lemon and almond extracts and when they are all combined they make an addicting concoction.
