Equipment

  • 1 Stand Mixer fitted with Paddle Attachment
  • 1 Spatula
  • Measuring Cups and Spoons
  • 1 Baking Sheet
  • Parchment Paper

Ingredients

  • 8 tablespoon Non-Dairy Butter, room temperature
  • 1 Cups Granulated Sugar
  • ¼ Cup Non-Dairy Milk
  • 2 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
  • 1 ¾ Cups All-Purpose Flour
  • 2 tablespoon Cornstarch
  • ½ teaspoon Baking Soda
  • ½ teaspoon Kosher Salt ¼ teaspoon if using fine salt
  • ¼ Cup Vegan Rainbow Sprinkles see note!

For Topping the Cookies

  • ¼ Cup Vegan Rainbow Sprinkles

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350*F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment or in a large bowl using a hand mixer, cream non-dairy butter and sugar until well combined and fluffy.
    8 tablespoon Non-Dairy Butter, room temperature, 1 Cups Granulated Sugar
  • Add the non-dairy milk and vanilla and mix on low until well combined.
    ¼ Cup Non-Dairy Milk, 2 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
  • Add the flour, cornstarch, baking soda, and salt, and mix on low just until the dough forms. Then, add rainbow sprinkles and mix on low until distributed.
    1 ¾ Cups All-Purpose Flour, 2 tablespoon Cornstarch, ½ teaspoon Baking Soda, ½ teaspoon Kosher Salt, ¼ Cup Vegan Rainbow Sprinkles
  • Add the remaining rainbow sprinkles to a small bowl.
    ¼ Cup Vegan Rainbow Sprinkles
  • Then, use a 3-tablespoon cookie scoop to scoop 8 cookie dough balls onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Dunk the top of each cookie dough ball into the rainbow sprinkles and return them to the baking sheet leaving at least 2 ½ inches of space between each cookie.
  • Bake in a 350*F oven for 14-17 minutes, or until the edges begin to brown but the centers of the cookies is still soft.
  • Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for at least 5 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack to cool completely. Repeat with the remaining cookie dough.

Notes

Once you add the dry ingredients to the bowl, don't over-mix! Mix until the dough is just combined. Otherwise, you could end up with a tough cookie.
I highly recommend a cookie scoop for evenly sized, round cookies!
Most rainbow sprinkles in the grocery store are not vegan. I love these sprinkles by Sweetapolita.
I do not recommend using natural sprinkles as the colors will oxidize during baking.
