With the mixer on low speed, slowly beat in the gluten free flour mixture a little at a time until just combined. Use a spatula to scrape down the sides and combine.

Once combined, gently fold in ¼ cup of the blue sprinkles until combined. You can use more sprinkles but I just like little pops of blue here and there. Chill.

Combine all frosting ingredients in a bowl and mix until the frosting is smooth and creamy. Frost the tops of the cooled cookies. Don't go all the way to the edge of the cookie.

Top the cookies with red and blue sprinkles while the frosting is still wet, so the sprinkles stick.
