Copycat Dunkaroos (gluten free, vegan)

Servings 12

Ingredients
  

For the Cookies

  • 1 ½ cups almond flour
  • ½ cup tapioca starch
  • ¼ cup maple syrup
  • cup softened non-hydrogenated palm oil shortening or refined coconut oil
  • Dash of salt
  • 1 ½ tsp baking powder
  • ⅓ to ½ cup raw cane sugar or coconut sugar, adjust for sweetness
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

For the Funfetti Dip

  • 1 ¼ cups powdered sugar
  • ¼ cup coconut butter, softened in a jar
  • ¼ cup coconut or almond milk
  • ½ cup dye-free rainbow sprinkles

Instructions
 

Step 1: Preheat & Prepare

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2: Make the Dough

  • In a large bowl, whisk together almond flour, baking powder, salt, and tapioca starch.
  • In a separate bowl, mix the softened palm shortening (or coconut oil), maple syrup, coconut sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
  • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until a soft dough forms.

Step 3: Shape the Cookies

  • Roll the dough between two pieces of parchment paper until it’s about ¼ inch thick.
  • Use a small cookie cutter to cut out ½-inch circles (you should get around 32 cookies).
  • Optional: Use a tiny utensil to press indentations into the sides of each cookie to mimic the classic Dunkaroos shape.

Step 4: Bake

  • Bake the cookies for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges start to turn golden brown.
  • Remove them from the oven and let them cool completely on a wire rack.

Step 5: Prepare the Funfetti Dip

  • While the cookies cool, make the dip. In a small bowl, mix softened coconut butter, coconut milk, and powdered sugar until smooth.
  • Stir in the dye-free rainbow sprinkles for that signature funfetti look!

Step 6: Plate & Enjoy

  • Once the cookies have cooled, pair them with the dip and enjoy your homemade, healthier Dunkaroos!
