    These Funfetti Sandwich Cookies are basically a little hand-held cake. The exterior cookies are super soft and moist. They are filled with smooth fluffy buttercream making these little cookies irresistible. And perfect for any celebration!

    Ingredients for Funfetti Sandwich Cookies

    Flour: Regular all purpose flour here.

    Leaveners: A combination of baking powder and baking soda to help these sandwich cookies rise and become nice and soft.

    Salt: I always use Kosher salt. If using fine grain salt or table salt, reduce the amount of salt by half.

    Sugar: Regular granulated sugar here. Sugar provides sweetness, structure and moisture to the finished product.

    Non Dairy Milk: I used oat milk, but any milk will work.

    Canola Oil: For moisture. Any neutral oil works here.

    White Vinegar: To help the baking soda activate.

    Vanilla: A good dose of vanilla for flavor.

    Rainbow Sprinkles: Can't have funfetti sandwich cookies without sprinkles!

    Are Sprinkles Vegan?

    In short, sprinkles are not typically vegan. Most sprinkles in a typical grocery store- think Betty Crocker Brand- have red dye 40 in them which is not vegan.

    Whole Foods vegan sprinkles are colored with natural colors like beet juice and spirulina. But, these natural colors oxidize when heated leaving yellow and greenish brown pockets in the cookies.

    My favorite vegan sprinkles are rainbow sprinkles from Sweetapolita. They are bright, vibrant and keep their color through the baking process. But, not all of their items are vegan. So, just check the ingredients.

    How to Store Funfetti Sandwich Cookies

    Store the filled Funfetti Sandwich Cookies in the refrigerator for up to three days. But, allow to come to room temperature before serving. This is so the buttercream is soft.

    To freeze, don't fill the cookies with buttercream.

    First, allow the cookies to cool.

    Next, place the unfilled cookies into an airtight container with sheets of parchment in between layers.

    Then, freeze for up to a month.

    To serve, thaw the cookies and fill with buttercream.
