Ingredients
Wet
- ½ cup butter dairy free or regular
- ¾ cup + 2 tbsp white granulated sugar
- 1 egg
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Dry
- 1 ¾ cup gluten free all purpose baking flour
- 3 teaspoons cornstarch
- ½ teaspoons baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ cup sprinkles plus more for rolling
Instructions
- Add the butter to a mixing bowl and add to the microwave for 15-20 seconds. It should be softened, but not melted. Alternatively, leave at room temperature for about an hour.
- Add in the sugar and beat with an electric mixer for about 1 minute.
- Beat in the vanilla and egg.
- Beat in the flour, cornstarch, baking powder and salt, making sure to spoon and level the flour, don't scoop right from the bag.
- Fold in the sprinkles.
- Scoop the dough into balls using about a 2 tablespoon scoop, and roll in sprinkles. Lightly press the sprinkles in, then re-roll into a ball if needed.
- Place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and gently press down on the tops of the cookies.
- Set in the fridge for 1 hour.
- Preheat the oven to 350 Fahrenheit.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes. They will still be soft when they come out of the oven, but will firm up as they cool.
- Let cool completely, then enjoy!
Notes
You can use regular sprinkles here or non-pareils. Both work well, you can also use a mix of both!
