Instructions
- 1
Prepare the Dry Mix: In a medium bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
- 2
Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, cream together the softened plant-based butter, egg, vanilla extract, and powdered sugar until smooth and fully combined.
- 3
Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until a sticky dough forms. The dough may appear stretchy, which is normal due to the powdered sugar.
- 4
Chill the Dough: Cover the dough with parchment paper or plastic wrap, pressing it directly against the surface to prevent drying. Chill in the refrigerator for 2 hours.
- 5
Preheat and Prepare: After chilling, preheat your oven to 350°F (177°C). Line large baking sheets with parchment paper.
- 6
Form Cookies: Pour sprinkles into a small bowl. Using a #50 cookie scoop, scoop out dough balls and roll the sides and domed tops in the sprinkles. Place them 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.
- 7
Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes, or until the centers of the cookies rise slightly.
- 8
Shape Cookies: Immediately after baking, carefully place a small heat-safe circular dish slightly larger than the cookies over the hot cookies. Gently swirl in a circular motion to round off the edges. Handle with care as the cookies are fragile when hot.
- 9
Cool: Allow the cookies to cool completely on the baking sheet to prevent breaking.

Serve: Enjoy these festive cookies with your favorite dairy-free milk!
