Description

These healthy almond flour birthday cake cookies are soft, chewy, and full of nostalgic funfetti flavor — but made with reduced sugar and naturally gluten‑free ingredients. Almond flour keeps them tender and satisfying, while a light sprinkle of rainbow sprinkles adds the perfect birthday‑cake touch. A simple, lower‑sugar cookie that still tastes like a celebration.

Ingredients
  • 6 tablespoons butter
  • 1/3 cup sugar (or sugar-substitute blend)
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon of almond extract (if you don't have almond extract, add extra 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract)
  • 1/2 cup almond flour
  • 1/2 cup 1:1 gluten-free all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon of baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 3-4 tablespoons rainbow sprinkles
Instructions
  1. 1
    Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  2. 2
    Cream the softened butter with the sugar and brown sugar in a large mixing bowl until the mixture becomes light and fluffy.
  3. 3
    Add the eggs, vanilla extract, and almond extract, mixing until everything is fully combined.

    In a separate bowl, whisk together the almond flour, gluten‑free all‑purpose flour, baking powder, and baking soda.
  5. 5
    Add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients and stir until a soft dough forms. If you want thicker, softer cookies, chill the dough for a short time before baking.

  7. 7
    bake at 350°F until the edges are lightly golden.
