It seems like my blog is looking pretty chocolatey lately. I thought why not add some colorful fun, sparkly cookies into the mix? They’re so festive and fun for the holiday season.
I remember sprinkle cookies as a kid. Every Christmas my mom would bring out this cookie gun. She’d insert homemade cookie dough, change out the shape slide, plug it in, and shoot out some shape cookies.
I was in charge of sprinkling which I always went a bit overboard on. The great thing about these cookies is they are so easy to make, have the most amazing chewy texture, and so easy to customize the sprinkles to be festive for any holiday!
These sprinkle cookies are:
- only 7 ingredients (plus sprinkles!!)
- naturally gluten free
- made in one bowl
- have the most amazing texture
- dairy free
- naturally sweetened
- easily customizable for any holiday!
Ingredients for gluten free sprinkle cookies:
- cashew butter
- agave nectar
- vanilla
- egg
- blanched almond flour
- baking soda
- sea salt
- sprinkles
How to make gluten free sprinkle cookies:
First, add the cashew butter, agave, vanilla, and egg to a large bowl and whisk until combined. Add the almond flour, baking soda, and sea salt. Whisk again until combined.
Use an ice cream scooper to scoop large balls and roll them in your hands to make them smooth.
Spread the sprinkles out on a plate or shallow bowl in a single layer. Roll the cookie dough ball around the plate until it’s completely covered with sprinkles. Place it on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
When you have about 8 cookie dough balls on your sheet, bake for 10 minutes until the edges are golden brown. Transfer to a cooling rack and allow to cool for a couple minutes.

Is there a substitute for blanched almond flour? I have an almond allergy to work around. Thanks!
Oat flour may be a good option (I’d decrease the about by about 1/4 cup)! or cashew butter could be fun (I get it off amazon). Let me know how it goes! xo
Made these with my 3 year old. They are so good and I don’t have to feel as bad when my kid asks for 3 cookies because the ingredients are super clean! So easy and quick! Soooo tasty, soft and chewy!
haha I feel you on this!! so happy you guys enjoyed them!! xo
Finally made these today with my daughter. We used the Halloween sprinkles recommended by Lindsay! We had such a fun time making. Easy to make and they taste delicious and love that the ingredients are simple and healthy. My husband even liked them and he is not a fan of sprinkles! Thanks for the great recipe!
Aw so cute!! I’m so glad you guys enjoyed!! xo
These sound amazing! Would they work if I sub the egg with flax egg?
Honestly, I have no clue how a flax egg would work with these. I hope they do! Let me know if you experiment and how it goes!! xo
These are delicious. I subbed honey and almond butter. I haven’t had a sugar cookie in so long. Thank you for the recipe!
Aw yay! I’m so happy you enjoyed them!! xo
