Ingredients and Substitutions

Almond butter, cashew butter, pecan butter, peanut butter or any other type of nut or seed butter works great for this recipe. I would recommend sticking to almond or cashew for best results.

Maple syrup is the sweetener that I used in this recipe, you can sub agave, honey, date syrup or any other type of liquid sweetener. Taste may vary.

Vanilla extract adds a lovely flavor.

Almond extract adds that sugar cookie/ birthday cake flavor.

Almond flour and Bob’s Red Mill 1:1 gluten-free flour blend is the base of this recipe, I have not tested it with any other flours. Although I have not tested it so I can’t say with 100% certainty, I would recommend switching both out for oat flour.

Baking powder to help these cookies rise.

Salt to help balance out all the flavors.

Non-toxic rainbow sprinkles, I used the one from Watkins.

Vegan white chocolate chips, feel free to use regular white chocolate if you aren’t vegan.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is all natural maple syrup?

This is different than pancakes syrup, look at the ingredients on the back. The only ingredients should be maple syrup.

Yes, you can. Use tahini or oat butter for the nut butter and then oat flour to replace both almond and gluten-free flour.

Can I use regular white chocolate chips if I am not vegan?

Yes you can.

Can I use regular flour instead of the Gluten-free flour blend?

Yes you can, but this will make the recipe not gluten-free.
