how to make Gluten Free Soft Baked Funfetti Cookies

Ingredients :

1/2 cup Unsalted Butter, Softened
3/4 cup Granulated Sugar
1 large Egg
2 tsp Vanilla Extract
1 1/2 cups Gluten Free All-Purpose Flour
1 tbsp Cornstarch
1/2 tsp Baking Soda
1/4 tsp Salt
1/2 cup Rainbow Sprinkles

Directions :

Preheat your oven to 350°F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a mixing bowl, cream the softened butter and granulated sugar together for 2 minutes until the mixture is light and fluffy.
Add the egg and vanilla extract, and beat until smooth.
Add the gluten-free flour, cornstarch, baking soda, and salt. Mix on low speed until a soft dough forms.
Gently fold in the rainbow sprinkles using a spatula to prevent the colors from bleeding into the dough.
Scoop 1.5-tablespoon sized balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet.
Bake for 9-11 minutes. The centers should look slightly underbaked. Let the cookies rest on the pan for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.
