sprinkle chocolate chip cookies ingredient list and tips
- dairy free butter-- melt for 20 seconds. We use the Earth Balance Buttery Sticks in a red box (also soy free) available here for purchase
- granulated sugar
- brown sugar-- packed and leveled
- egg-- at room temperature
- vanilla extract
- gluten free all-purpose flour-- scooped and leveled, we prefer the Bob's Red Mill Gluten Free Baking Flour . We buy it in bulk here and save so much money. This mix does contain xanthan gum in the blend.
- xanthan gum-- omit if your all-purpose blend contains this or guar gum
- baking soda-- always double check your ground spice brands are gluten and dairy free. And consider always labeling your baking soda container with the date when it's first opened. After the container has been opened for 6 months it loses its potency.
- Kosher salt
- dairy free chocolate chips-- for this recipe we like the Enjoy Life Semi-Sweet Mega Chunks or Nestle Tollhouse Allergen Free Semi-Sweet Morsels. Either bakes and tastes wonderful in this recipe.
- gluten and dairy free sprinkles-- our favorite gluten and dairy free brands are Sweets Indeed and Supernatural. You can purchase them off their website or on Amazon. The Supernatural sprinkles allergen statement is here, and a must read if you have life threatening responses to cross contamination.
- cookie sheets-- we use these cookie sheets
- parchment paper or baking mats-- baking mats are awesome. One of the best kitchen gifts I ever received.
- mixing bowl-- here is a wonderful set with lids
- measuring spoons
- medium cookie scoop-- we use these for scooping ice cream and pancakes too
- cooling racks-- Wilton 3 tier stackable cooling racks are great and take up little space
how to make sprinkle chocolate chip cookies
Follow our Soft Chocolate Chip Cookie recipe and add in ½ cup of your favorite gluten and dairy free sprinkles to the batter along with the semi-sweet chocolate chips. The bake time remains the same.
Bake and enjoy with a cold glass of milk... or our new go-to is this dairy free chocolate milk.
what sprinkles are safe
Gluten and dairy are often hidden ingredients in sprinkles. This is always a product label you need to read before purchasing.
With that in mind, the safest brands of sprinkles I've found are from Sweets Indeed and Supernatural.
You can purchase these from their website or on Amazon.
Our favorite sprinkles for this cookie recipe are these Sprinklefetti Mix from Sweets Indeed and these star-shaped sprinkles from Supernatural. You'll find both brands have several themed sprinkles too.
Perfect for Birthday cakes, Sugar Cookies, and our Double Chocolate Donut recipe.
do I put sprinkles on before or after baking the cookies
Place the sprinkles in the batter when you add the chocolate chips. You can also add extra sprinkles to the top of the cookies once they are on the cookie sheet before they go into the oven.
can I bake these ahead of time
Yes, Sprinkle Chocolate Chip Cookies can be baked a day before you need them.
If you are using our homemade Soft Chocolate Chip Cookie recipe, we recommend enjoying them warm right off the cookie sheet. They are our favorite right out of the oven cookie-- they taste just like a traditional cookie.
