These delightful treats are perfect for a special birthday cookie delivery for those with gluten sensitivities or celiac disease, ensuring that everyone can join in the festivities.
Read on and learn about a simple and delectable recipe for creating these soft and chewy cookies that will make any birthday celebration even more special.
The Gluten-Free Flour Blend
The foundation of any gluten-free baking recipe is the flour blend. For our birthday cake cookies, we'll create a mix of gluten-free flours to achieve the perfect texture and taste. A common blend comprises rice flour, tapioca flour, and potato starch, but you can also use pre-made gluten-free flour mixes available in stores. The essential aspect is to ensure that the blend is finely ground and free from any cross-contamination with gluten.
Ingredients for the Perfect Batch
To create these birthday cake cookies, gather the following ingredients:
- 1½ cups gluten-free flour blend
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- ⅓ cup rainbow sprinkles (gluten-free)
- ⅓ cup white chocolate chips (gluten-free)
Prepare the Cookie Dough
Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lining a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour blend, baking soda, and salt. In a separate large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.
Gradually add the dry flour mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing well until a smooth dough forms. Carefully fold in the rainbow sprinkles and white chocolate chips, distributing them evenly throughout the dough.
Shape and Bake
Using a cookie scoop or spoon, portion out the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving enough space between each cookie to allow for spreading during baking. Gently press down on each ball of dough to flatten it slightly, but don't flatten it too much, as we want these cookies to be thick and chewy.
To bake, place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake the cookies for approximately 10-12 minutes, or until the edges turn a light golden brown. Keep an eye on them as baking times may vary depending on your oven. It's crucial not to overbake the cookies to maintain their soft and chewy texture.
Cool and Serve
Once the cookies are done baking, remove them from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. The cookies will firm up slightly as they cool.
Finally, it's time to enjoy these delectable gluten-free birthday cake cookies! Serve them with a glass of cold milk or your favorite non-dairy alternative for a truly delightful treat.
