Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1/2 cup vegan butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tbsp light brown sugar, tightly packed
  • 1/4 cup almond milk
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1/2 tsp almond extract
  • 1 and 3/4 cups all-purpose flour (or GF all-purpose flour) (238g)
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 3/4 cup vegan white chocolate chips
  • 1/3 cup rainbow sprinkles

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, add vegan butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar. Using a handheld electric mixer or a stand mixer, cream together until light and fluffy (about 2 minutes). Add almond milk, vanilla extract, and almond extract. Cream together to combine.
  3. Add all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt to the bowl. Mix together just until the flour is evenly incorporated. Add white chocolate chips and rainbow sprinkles, then mix together again.
  4. Scoop the cookie dough into balls, then transfer to the baking sheet.
  5. Bake cookies on the middle rack in the oven for 11-12 minutes. Remove cookies from the oven when the edges are light golden brown but the center still looks underbaked. The cookies will firm up and de-puff while cooling, creating a soft and chewy texture. Enjoy!

Notes

  • How to correctly measure flour: Measure the flour correctly. Flour should never be scooped or packed into the measuring cup. This will result in too much flour. Instead, spoon the flour into the measuring cup and level it off using a flat object.
  • How to store cookies: Keep cookies stored in a tightly-sealed container at room temperature. Enjoy within 3-4 days. If you’d like to store the cookies longterm, you can keep them in the freezer for up to 3 months.
  • How to freeze cookie dough: After scooping the cookie dough into balls, store them inside a ziplock bag. Press as much air out of the bag as possible before sealing. Freeze for up to 3 months. Let cookie dough come to room temperature before baking.
