These healthier vegan funfetti sugar cookies are not only super cute, but they’re so easy to make too! They’re vegan, refined sugar free, and paleo friendly so almost everyone can enjoy them. You’ll only need a few ingredients and a few minutes to make them! These are so soft on the inside, slightly chewy, and even taste good out of the fridge. Add a little fun to any get together or party by bringing these along or just make them for yourself because LOL at sharing 😉

If birthday cake or funfetti is a flavor option for anything, there’s a solid 99.9% chance I am choosing it. I am OBSESSED. These cookies have the most perfect sugar cookie/birthday cake flavor thanks to a tiny little bit of almond extract. Don’t ask me how it works, but it does!
What you’ll need to make vegan funfetti Sugar Cookies:
Almond flour: Unfortunately, there aren’t any subs for the almond flour. It gives the cookie the most perfect, light, chewy texture!
Maple syrup: Any sticky sweetener would work!
Baking powder: This helps the cookies bake and become the perfect texture.
Almond extract: This gives the cookies the perfect birthday cake flavor. There are no subs, sadly. You can definitely leave it out, but they won’t taste the same.
Powdered sugar: I opt for monk fruit powdered sugar to keep these refined sugar free. You can use code danishealthyeats for a discount on my favorite!
Sprinkles: The most fun part of the recipe! I try and opt for sprinkles without artificial dyes, flavors, and sugars!
Let’s make some cookies:
1. First we will mix together the dough ingredients.
2. Then we’ll drop the dough by spoonfuls onto a cookie sheet, flattening them with the palm of our hand.
3. Then, we bake!
4. When the cookies have cooled, you’ll mix together the powdered sugar and plant milk until a glaze consistency forms. Then you’ll frost the cookies and add sprinkles!
5. Place them in the fridge and when you’re ready to eat, let it sit out a minute or so and enjoy.

Yum! I’m going to make these soon but I already know they’re gonna be a 5!
Where do you get your sugar free sprinkles? Please share link or brand! Thanks!
Aw, thank you so much! It can be super hard to find sugar-free sprinkles, unless you’re shopping on amazon! But I usually just pick some up at Whole Foods, as they’re naturally colored and don’t have any weird ingredients! But there is a brand on Amazon called “Good Dees Sprinkles” and they’re a sugar-free option!
Can I use honey instead of maple syrup? (I’m not vegan)
Oops just saw at the beginning lol
Yes, of course!
can these be frozen?
Hi Nicole! I haven’t froze them before, so i’m not 100% sure how it’d affect them but i’m almost positive they’d freeze well!
