It can sometimes be difficult to find a dairy-free and egg-free version of your favorite treats. This updated version of classic funfetti cookies are made without butter or eggs, but still taste like they came from your favorite bakery.
The secret to these cookies is simply the addition of apple cider vinegar. You don't taste the vinegar in the cookies, but the acid interacts with the baking soda and baking powder to give the cookies a nice rise in the oven and a light texture. Also, these cookies are made with vegetable oil instead of butter. Not only does that make these cookies dairy-free, but it also means that you don't have to wait for butter to soften before baking up a batch.
Ingredients
-
2 cups all-purpose flour
-
1 teaspoon baking powder
-
3/4 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon salt

3 tablespoons rainbow sprinkles

Enjoy! These cookies can be stored in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
Tips
- For the classic funfetti texture, be sure to use the small, non-pareil style sprinkles rather than multi-colored sprinkles.
- It is important to refrigerate the cookie dough for at least an hour before baking the cookies. This allows the dough to firm up a bit and makes it easier to handle when it is rolled into balls and placed on the cookie sheet. Also, refrigerating the dough allows the cookies to keep their shape in the oven and not spread out too much while baking.
- Be sure not to overbake these cookies. To maintain the soft texture, they should be baked until just set but not browned.
