It's a really dumb show, really really dumb, but Fish Hooks has some fantastically written female characters. Bea, Shellsea, Fimberly, Esmargot, Clamantha, and Koi have a great friendship. (Yes, yes I know, they're all fish puns) They have a great deal of screentime and plenty of plot stuff that doesn't revolve around male characters.

Gravity Falls also had Mabel, Wendy, Candy, and Grenda.

I think the main reason you don't see more female friendships is because there's a tendency for writers to see Blank Slate Character as a (white if applicable) male and after that you're adding characteristics, and there better be a reason to add those characteristics and you want it all as simple as possible. So unless a character being female is considered important to the story (like her being A Sister or A Love Interest) there's no reason to deviate from Normal Basic Character. This is, of course, an awful way of looking at things, but it's still common.
