    Homemade Funfetti Cookies Ingredients

    Made with almond flour, white rice flour, and tapioca starch, these gluten-free cookies have just the right chewiness. Due to the starches that bind in this recipe, these gluten-free funfetti cookies are able to be made without eggs.

    Plus, a little crunch and sweetness from your favorite rainbow sprinkles will have you reaching for a second. 

    Here are the major ingredients you will need:

    • Almond flour
    • White rice flour
    • Tapioca starch
    • Organic cane sugar
    • Maple syrup
    • Vegan butter
    • Vanilla extract
    • Rainbow sprinkles

     A note about sprinkles: Not all sprinkles are created equal when it comes to being gluten-free and vegan. Be sure to check labels based on your dietary needs and preferences. These birthday party sprinkles from Sweetopolita fit the bill and are so pretty!

    1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.

    4. Add tapioca starch slurry and vanilla extract.

    7. Place remaining sprinkles on a plate. 
    8. Scoop one tablespoon of dough into a ball and roll in the sprinkles.
    9. Transfer to a parchment lined baking sheet and repeat until all dough is used.
    10. Flatten balls halfway down.
    11. Bake for 10-12 minutes. 
    12. Remove from oven and allow cookies to cool.
