Gluten-Free Funfetti Cookies (Wheat and Dairy-Free Baking)

Gluten-free Funfetti Cookies that are perfect for celebrating any occasion!

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

What is Your Favorite Dairy-Free Butter?

Wheat and dairy-free baking is such a science, especially the dairy part. I have tried so many dairy-free butter brands that are so delicious in savory dishes. However, when it comes to binding bake goods for a rich texture, Earth Balance butter is the way to go. I prefer to bake with their baking sticks because it is easy to measure, but their butter tubs work just as well.

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.

@sarahandspices we're gonna party like it's my birthday (cause it is) 🥳 There's no better way to celebrate my 22nd birthday then baking wheat and dairy-free confetti cookies! Because I have so much to celebrate... The past year has been life-changing for my food allergy journey. I've lived with food allergies for about 20 years. I always thought that this would be my life forever. However, in October, @socal gave me hope that I'll reach food allergy freedom in 2.5 years. Treatment is challenging and time-consuming, but I am focused on the end goal. I don't know what it's like to pick up a snack and eat it without checking the ingredient label multiple times. Or order off a restaurant menu without asking endless questions and giving the waiter a rundown about my food allergies. Or having an allergic reaction because someone didn't take my allergies seriously. Or living without the anxiety of if I'll go into anaphylactic shock. But, wow, I can't wait to experience what food allergy freedom feels like! Thank you for supporting me as I navigate life with 17 food allergies and multiple environmental allergies. You're sweet messages and DMs always brighten my day, and I can't wait to conquer food allergies together :) The Funfetti Cookie recipe is on my blog 🤍 #wheatfree #dairyfreecookies #foodallergies #allergyfriendly #funfetticookies ♬ original sound - DZETY🔊
