Rainbow Vanilla Funfetti Cookies Recipe (Gluten Free Option)

Craving some fun? Have some Funfetti!

These confetti-inspired cookies are fluffy, sweet, and surprisingly perfect to dunk into milk. They are very simple, and most of the flavour comes from the vanilla extract (I recommend using a high quality product), and the mix of different sugars.

For a colourful, rainbow hued treat, look no further!
