Leave Santa a plate of cookies that is free from artificial dyes! Santa Claus and your family are going to love these Corn-Free Christmas Funfetti Sugar Cookies!
Even though it is the New Year and well past Christmas, I am not ready to fully say goodbye to Christmas just yet. Our Christmas tree is still up, and I am prolonging taking down the outside lights. Another thing I don't want to let go of is the festive desserts we made this holiday season. Granted, they have already had to be stored in the freezer, but that allows us to take them out, defrost, and enjoy whenever we want to have a Christmas cookie, such as these!
These festive corn-free Christmas funfetti sugar cookies are loaded with Supernatual's Christmas Softies sprinkles, which are corn-free and contain no artificial dyes, making them a perfect clean treat for December.

Corn-Free Christmas Funfetti Sugar Cookies
Ingredients
14 tablespoons palm shortening (or unsalted butter at room temperature)
1 cup granulated cane sugar
¼ cup packed light brown sugar
1 large egg + 1 large egg yolk
2 teaspoons vanilla extract or vanilla paste
2 ⅔ cups all-purpose flour or all-purpose gluten-free flour
½ teaspoon corn-free baking powder
½ teaspoon baking soda
¾ teaspoon salt
Directions
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper. Set aside.
In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine the palm shortening and sugars and beat on low speed until combined. Gradually increase the speed to medium-high and beat until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
Use a silicone spatula to scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl, then add in the egg, egg yolk, and vanilla. Beat on medium-high until the mixture is fluffy and lightens in color, about 2 minutes, scraping down the bowl as needed.
Add the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt, and beat on low speed until the flour is fully combined into the batter.
Lastly, add the festive sprinkles and fold to distribute throughout the dough.
Use a medium-sized cookie scoop to portion out equal amounts of dough. Place the dough balls on the prepared baking sheets, spacing the dough 2 inches apart.
This step is completely optional, but if you would like, roll the dough into balls in your hands and drop them into a small bowl of sugar to evenly coat on all sides before placing them 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake until the cookies have puffed up and are set and firm around the edges but still somewhat soft in the middle, 11 to 12 minutes. Remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow the cookies to cool slightly on the baking sheet before transferring to a wire rack.
