    Ingredients needed for Vegan Funfetti Cookies

    Ingredients Notes

    • Sprinkles – when it comes to sprinkles, we find that rainbow sprinkles work best, also known as ‘jimmies’.
    • Cornstarch – is excellent for making ultra-soft cookies.
    • Soy milk – you can substitute the soy milk for a different non-dairy milk.

    Baker’s Tips

    Chill the dough. Once you have rolled the cookie dough into balls, pop them into the fridge for about 15 minutes while you preheat the oven. This helps to prevent your cookies from spreading too much.

    Spread the cookies over two trays. 10 cookies per tray. This prevents them from baking together and needing to be separated.

    Bake the cookies one tray at a time. It’s best to first bake one tray of cookies. Once that’s finished, you can then move on to baking the second tray of cookies. It is not recommended to bake both trays at once, as this may cause them to bake unevenly.

    Vegan Funfetti Cookies FAQ

    What type of sprinkles are the best?

    I found that rainbow sprinkles work the best in this recipe. A common nickname for them is “Jimmies.” If you can’t find them in your local grocery store, you can buy them on Amazon.

    Can I make these vegan funfetti cookies gluten-free?

    I haven’t tried these vegan funfetti cookies as gluten-free yet. However, a helpful tip is to use a gluten free all purpose flour blend as a substitute in the same amount as shown on the recipe card.

    Storing and Freezing

    Storing. Keep your vegan funfetti cookies stored in an airtight container at room temperature and enjoy within a week. They can also be stored in the fridge, however they are best brought to room temperature on the countertop before serving.

    Freezing. They are freezer friendly for three months. Thaw overnight in the fridge. Additionally, you can freeze the cookie dough balls for up to 3 months before baking. Then, when you’re ready to bake, simply take them out of the freezer and place them in the oven directly from frozen. Just remember to add a couple of extra minutes to the bake time to account for the frozen dough.

    Instructions

    • Line two baking sheets with parchment paper. Set aside.
    • To the bowl of your stand mixer, add vegan butter and white sugar and cream them together.
    • Add the soy milk and vanilla and mix in until well mixed. Set aside.

    • Place the trays into the fridge to chill while the oven preheats.

    • Place into the oven and bake for 10 minutes.
    • Remove from the oven and allow to cool and firm up directly on the tray.

    Notes

    1. Weigh the flour. For the most accurate results, weigh your flour on a food scale or alternatively measure it correctly with the spoon and level method. Spoon it into your measuring cup and level off the top with a knife. Don’t scoop it, and don’t pack it into the cup. 
    2. If the cookies don’t spread. If you peep into your oven at the 10-minute mark and you see that your cookies haven’t spread very much, you can bake them for a couple of minutes longer. But even if they are pretty puffy on the top, this is still fine, you can press down on them gently with a fork as soon as they come out of the oven, still warm and soft.
    3. Storing. Keep your cookies stored in a covered container at room temperature where they will last for up to a week. You can also store them in the fridge (covered).
    4. Freezing. They are freezer-friendly for up to 3 months. Thaw them in the fridge and bring them to room temperature on the counter before serving. Additionally, you can freeze the cookie dough balls for up to 3 months before baking. Then, when you’re ready to bake, simply take them out of the freezer and place them in the oven directly from frozen. Just remember to add a couple of extra minutes to the bake time to account for the frozen dough.

      Loved these! They taste amazing, and I love how it requires no special ingredients. I could make these without making a trip to the store. I opted to make mine a little bit bigger (so I made less cookies) and just baked them a little longer. I will be making this recipe again for sure!5 stars

      I halved the recipe and made 25 mini-cookies (cooking time 8 minutes). They’re very cute and taste pretty much like you’d expect 🙂

      The dough was quite wet though, so I had to add a couple tbsp of flour, and then flour my hands to form the balls. Maybe I should have chilled it before AND after making the cookie balls?4 stars

        Hi Bea. If your dough is a bit wet, you can chill the dough before rolling them and also chill before putting them in the oven.
