Soft and Chewy Gluten-Free Funfetti Cookies

What better way to celebrate my twenty-second birthday than with gluten-free funfetti cookies? These cookies have soft, chewy centers and crisp golden-brown edges, filled with lots and lots (and a few more) of dye-free, natural sprinkles.

What’s Your Favorite Gluten-Free Flour?

I’ve found that the best gluten-free flour for baking is typically a gluten-free all-purpose flour blend. You want to use one with xanthan gum. My favorite brand is King Arthur Measure For Measure Gluten-Free Flour.

What is Your Favorite Dairy-Free Butter?

Gluten-free and dairy-free baking is a science, especially the dairy part. I have tried so many delicious dairy-free butter brands in savory dishes. However, Earth Balance butter is the way to go when it comes to binding baked goods for a rich texture. Just don’t use the Olive Oil Buttery Spread or Organic Whipped Buttery Spread for baking. I like baking with their butter sticks because they are easy to measure, but their butter tubs work just as well. I also like VioLife butter.

What are Your Favorite sprinkles?

My favorite sprinkles are Super Natural. They’re gluten-free and dairy-free. And they're colored naturally with plants & spices

Do I Have to Chill the Dough?

Chilling the cookie dough helps prevent the cookies from spreading too much, creating the best soft, thick, and chewy cookie. So yes, chilling the dough is essential. Wash the baking bowls and clean up the kitchen, and it will be just about time to scoop the dough and bake it. Trust me, 30 minutes of chilling time is so worth it.
