    Ingredients

    You only need eight ingredients to make these Vegan Funfetti cookies! Here is what they are:

    Flour: Regular All Purpose flour here. I always use King Arthur flour.

    Baking Powder: Baking powder keeps these cookies really nice and soft.

    Salt: Kosher salt, please. But if you use table salt, halve the amount.

    Vegan Butter: I like Soy-Free Earth Balance Buttery Sticks and Country Crock Plant Butter Sticks.

    Sugar: Regular granulated sugar.

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

    Vanilla: Plenty of vanilla extract for flavor,

    Sprinkles: Vegan sprinkles are added to the cookie dough at the very end.

    They are super easy to make and the rainbow sprinkles make them so fun.

    Method

    You will not believe how easy it is to make these Vegan Sprinkle Cookies!

    Begin by creaming the butter and sugar together.

    Next, add the non-dairy milk and vanilla.

    Vegan butter and sugar creamed together in a marble bowl.
    First cream the vegan butter and sugar together.
    The vegan milk and vanilla mixed into the creamed mixture.
    Mix in the non-dairy milk and vanilla. Its okay if the mixture looks broken, here.

    Then, add flour, baking powder and salt. And mix until JUST combined.

    Now, add the sprinkles and stir to distribute.

    Next, scoop the cookie dough onto a parchment-lined baking sheet and roll each dough mound in your palms to make them round.

    Then, dip the top of each cookie dough ball in sprinkles, wrap the baking sheet with plastic and chill the dough in the refrigerator for 1 hour.

    Variations

    If you want these eggless Vegan Funfetti Cookies to taste more like birthday cake, add ¼ teaspoon of almond extract to the dough.

    Vegan Sprinkles

    Vegan sprinkles can actually be hard to find in a grocery store. I recommend ordering them online.

    Here are the vegan sprinkles I have.

    My Favorite Baking Sheets

    I've tested a lot of baking sheets through many years of baking. My favorite are these by Nordicware.

    They are sturdy, heat evenly and don't warp!

    They will give you perfect Vegan Funfetti Cookies every time.

    Top Recipe Tips

    Once you add the dry ingredients into the bowl, don't over-mix! Mix until the dough is just combined. Otherwise, you could end up with a tough cookie.

    I know its tempting, but don't skip the chill time! The chill time allows the flour to hydrate which yields thick, soft, and chewy cookies.

    Storage

    To store these Dairy-Free Vegan Funfetti Cookies, transfer to an airtight container and keep at room temperature for up to 3 days.

    Or, store in an airtight container and freeze for up to a month.
