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.

How to make
ONE: Combine almond butter, maple syrup, vanilla extract and almond extract together in a bowl.

TWO: Add in almond flour, gluten-free flour blend, baking powder and salt. Mix once more.


THREE: Fold in sprinkles and white chocolate chips.


FOUR: Using a double cookie scoop, scoop dough and roll between the palm of your hands into a large ball. Then, flatten slightly and place on a baking sheet that’s lined with parchment paper.

FIVE: Add more sprinkles and vegan white chocolate chips on top if desired. Then, bake at 350F for 12-14 minutes.


SIX: Let cool for 5 minutes before moving to a cooling rack.
