Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the gluten-free all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In a large bowl, beat the unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together until creamy and smooth, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the vanilla extract and egg to the butter-sugar mixture. Beat until fully combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Fold in the gluten-free candy pieces gently with a spatula until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Using a tablespoon or a cookie scoop, place rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.
Remove from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy your fun and colorful gluten-free candy pieces cookies, perfect for any occasion!
