Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon tapioca starch + 3 tablespoons water
  • ½ cup (116g) organic cane sugar
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup
  • 4 tablespoons vegan butter melted
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 2 cups (200g) almond flour
  • ¼ cup + 1 tablespoon (40g) white rice flour
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ¾ cup rainbow sprinkles (check label to ensure gluten-free/vegan)

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Place the tapioca starch and water in a small bowl or liquid measuring cup. Stir to combine and allow to sit for a couple minutes.
  • In a medium bowl, combine organic cane sugar and maple syrup. Whisk to combine. Whisk in vegan butter, followed by tapioca starch slurry and vanilla extract.
  • Add the almond flour, white rice flour, baking soda, and salt. Stir until ingredients are completely incorporated. If needed, use your hands to thoroughly combine ingredients into a cohesive cookie dough.
  • Fold in ¼ cup of the rainbow sprinkles into the cookie dough. Place the remaining sprinkles on a plate.
  • Use a tablespoon to scoop out dough, then roll into a ball. Place ball on plate with sprinkles, roll to coat, then place on prepared baking sheet. Space cookie dough balls about an 1 ½ inches apart. Repeat until cookie sheet is filled with even rows.
  • Using your palm or the bottom of a glass, press each dough ball down about halfway.
  • Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until cookies are set on the outside. Allow cookies to cool on baking sheet for 4-5 minutes then transfer to a wire rack to cool.
  • Store at room temperature in an airtight container for 3-4 days.

Notes

To store: Keep at room temperature in an airtight container for 3-4 days. 
To freeze: Put balls of dough (without sprinkles) on a baking sheet and place in freezer until frozen. Transfer frozen cookie dough balls to a freezer-safe bag. ​Dough can be stored in the freezer for up to 3 months.
