Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups Gluten-free All-purpose Flour Blend (I use Pamela’s Artisan Blend All-purpose Flour)
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 ½ teaspoons tapioca starch or cornstarch

Wet Ingredients

  • ½ cup butter (1 stick, softened)
  • ¾ cup brown sugar
  • ¼ cup white sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Mix-ins

  • 2 cups unicorn chocolate chips
  • ¼ cup unicorn rainbow sprinkles

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven and prepare baking sheets: Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure even baking.
  2. Combine dry ingredients: In a small bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour blend, baking soda, salt, and tapioca starch or cornstarch. Set this mixture aside.
  3. Cream butter and sugars: Using an electric mixer, beat the softened butter with both the brown and white sugars on medium speed for about 2 minutes until the mixture becomes light and fluffy.
  4. Add egg and vanilla: Mix in the egg and vanilla extract until fully incorporated, creating a smooth batter.
  5. Incorporate dry ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients and mix until just combined to avoid overmixing, which can toughen the cookies.
  6. Stir in chips and sprinkles: Fold in the unicorn chocolate chips and rainbow sprinkles evenly throughout the dough for that magical burst of color and flavor.
  7. Scoop and bake: Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough and place them about 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets. Bake for 12-14 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers begin to brown. Be careful not to overbake if you prefer soft cookies.

Notes

  • For best results, use a gluten-free flour blend that contains xanthan gum or add ¼ teaspoon if your blend lacks it.
  • You can substitute tapioca starch with cornstarch for a similar texture.
  • Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
  • These cookies freeze well; freeze baked cookies or dough balls for later baking.
  • Adjust baking time by a minute or two for crispier or chewier cookies according to preference.
