Key Ingredients
Here are some of the key ingredients you’ll need for this recipe:
- Fat — I use a combination of Earth Balance (or you can make your own vegan butter) and peanut butter.
- Sugar — We’ll use granulated sugar.
- Egg replacer — We’re using ground flaxseed combined with cornstarch to bind these cookies together.
- Vinegar — Apple cider vinegar interacts with the baking soda to create fluffy cookies.
- Flavoring — We’ll use a combination of vanilla and sea salt to add flavor.
- Flour — I used all-purpose flour.
- Leavener — We’ll use a combination of baking soda and baking powder
- Chocolate Chips — Use your favorite dairy free chocolate chips
- Sprinkles — The star of the show!
Storage Tips
Store these cookies in an airtight container. They will keep at room temperature for up to 5 days or in the fridge for up to 15 days. You can freeze them in freezer-safe containers or bags for up to 2 months.
Expert Tips
Use these expert tips to make these chocolate chip sprinkle cookies perfect every time!
- This recipe calls for vegan butter. I used Earth Balance buttery sticks.
- Leave the vegan butter out for about 30 minutes prior to making these vegan cookies, to make the butter softened.
- Roll the cookie dough balls in more sprinkles to give each cookie a dramatic look!
- Do not overbake these cookies — we’re going for a gooey chocolate chip cookie with this recipe.
- Feel free to make a batch of this cookie dough and only bake one or two panfuls and freeze the rest of the dough balls for later. That way freshly baked chocolate chip sprinkle cookies are only a freezer door away!

Ingredients
- ½ cup vegan butter
- ½ cup peanut butter
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- ¾ cup brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons ground flaxseed
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- ½ cup plant-based milk soy, almond, etc
- 2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 2 ½ cup all-purpose flour plus one tablespoon
- 1 ½ teaspoon baking soda
- 1 ½ teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 1 cup dairy free chocolate chips
- 1 cup sprinkles (plus extras)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F/177°C. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
- Beat butter and peanut butter in a mixing bowl using an electric mixer on medium high speed until light and fluffy, about one minute. Add sugars and beat again until fluffy. Add the ground flax seeds, corn starch, non-dairy milk, vinegar, vanilla, and almond extract. Mix to combine.
- In a separate bowl combine the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Stir to combine. Pour the flour mixture over the margarine mixture and use your mixer to combine.
- Add the chocolate chips and sprinkles and mix some more until the sprinkles are incorporated throughout the dough.
- Use a cookie dough dispenser to drop cookie dough roughly 1½ inches apart on your cookie sheet. Pour some additional sprinkles on a plate and grabbing one ball of cookie dough at a time, dab the top of the cookie dough ball into the sprinkles. Place it on the pan and gently press the top of the cookie to make sure the sprinkles stick. Repeat with each cookie.
- Place the prepared pan of cookie dough balls in the oven and bake for 8-9 minutes. These cookies are best when they’re slightly undercooked so be careful not to over bake. You’ll be rewarded with a dense, rich, moist cookie!
- Remove the pan from the oven and allow the cookies to cool for up to 2 minutes on the pan before placing on a wire rack to cool completely.
- Repeat until all the cookies are done. Store in an airtight container.

Not all sprinkles are vegan…a good amount are made with smashed beetles or beeswax for the red coloring and the glazing agent so be wary.
My sister made these last night. We might have eaten like 5 each. They just make you happy. Amazing! Thank you 🙂
How fun! The only thing better than sprinkles is sisters! So eating sprinkle cookies with your sister? Wow!
After a month of hectic doctors’ visits and family get-togethers, I need the stress-busting fabulousity of your cookies, Marly! They are gorgeous!
I’m so sorry you’re having such a difficult month. And if sprinkle cookies can make your day even a little brighter then we’re both winners because that’s made me so happy too! My thoughts are with you.
what fun cookies!
Thanks, Dina!
Rainbow sprinkles rule the world! Just like buying a new package of markers, rainbow sprinkles always cheer me up! Thank you for sharing the recipe…I’m all excited to try them! 🙂
I love colored markers! Having Sprinkle Cookies and colored markers on the same day would be perfect. I sound like a 5-year old!
I love this post. Love it! Plus extra points for Sylvia Plath reference *and* sprinkles in the same post. I used to drink a gallon of water a day. That has dwindled, and now I need to undwindle. Thanks for the reminder!
You must undwindle. That’s best said in a yoda voice to get the full impact. Oh, and by the way, I can totally do a yoda voice!
These are the perfect solution to relieve stress! I, also, LOVE the heart video you made with the sprinkles!!!
Thanks, Betsy! That heart GIF was one of my favorite things about this post too!
Marly, I am the same way! I need to allow myself to eat sweets but in moderation and when I can I should reach for a healthier alternative.
Thanks, Beth! Moderation is definitely important when things like this are around the house!
I needed this recipe! I have a bunch of sprinkles that I’m not going to use for their original project, so these cookies it is!
Thanks, Abby! Sprinkles and chocolate chips go so well together. If you make this recipe, share your photo on instagram with #NamelyMarly
I’d love to see it!
Loving all the sprinkles in these chocolate chip cookies! 🙂
I bet you would like that since sprinkles are obviously near and dear to you too!
