1 ¾ cup pastry flour
½ cup butter flavour coconut oil or vegan butter (Nutiva Coconut Oil is what I used)
¾ cup granulated sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
½ tsp baking powder
1 tbsp ground flaxseed
½ cup water; divided
¼ cup sprinkles

Preheat oven to 350°F.
Add 1 tbsp flaxseed to 1/4 cup water, stir and let sit for 5 minutes to make a flax egg.
Add the flour, sugar and baking powder to a large bowl and mix to combine.
Then add the coconut oil, vanilla and prepared flax egg to the bowl. I like to use a fork to mix during this stage because the prongs of the fork work sort of like a pastry cutter finely chopping up the coconut oil into the flour.
The mixture will still be fairly dry, but once you are confident you have the coconut oil mixed evenly throughout the flour add in the remaining ¼ cup of water and mix just until combined. The dough will be fairly sticky.
Add the sprinkles to the batter and mix them evenly throughout but don’t overmix.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a clean dish towel and chill the Funfetti cookie dough in the fridge for about an hour. The dough should still be soft enough to roll into a ball but less sticky.
Once properly chilled, roll heaping tablespoons of dough into a ball and place on a cookie sheet. Bake for about 12-15 minutes removing the cookies from the oven as soon as you begin to see the edges of the cookie bottoms turning golden brown.
Let the cookies cool on the cookie sheet before removing and let them completely cool on a cooling rack before serving.

Store in a sealed container for up to 4 days. Freeze for up to 3 months. Consume at room temperature.

Any variety of sprinkles will work. You could even try chocolate sprinkles!
