Kid’s birthday party coming up? Look no further than the ultimate intersection where sweet treats meet a party hat. These cookies are practically screaming to join in on the celebrations. And, they’re allergen friendly—no gluten or nuts, and you can use vegan butter for a dairy-free version. Make sure you use the long-rod sprinkles called “jim bits” so the colours don’t bleed into the cookies.

Tips
It’s important to use long, rod-shaped rainbow sprinkles, aka “jimmies” or “jim bits,” for this recipe—they hold up during baking and their colours don't bleed into the cookie dough.
