Well of course you do!

sprinkle balls

As I was mixing the dough for my Single-Serving Cookie Dough Balls, I saw the sprinkles… So, obviously the sprinkles ended up in the batter. And thus the birth of Funfetti Balls! Oy, that title yields itself to many jokes, none of which are appropriate for this blog. It’s difficult, but I shall censor myself. Boo.

Based off the recipe for Single-Lady Cookies

  • 5 level teaspoons flour (white, oat, or spelt) (18g)
  • 1/16th tsp baking soda
  • 1/16th tsp salt
  • 2 tsp oil or melted butter-type spread
  • 1/4 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 1-2 tsp sprinkles or Homemade Sprinkles
  • 12 or so chocolate chips
  • sweetener (My testers liked 1 tsp brown + 1 tsp white sugar. You can sub coconut sugar or sucanat.)
  • 1 tsp milk of choice, or as needed (Don’t use water.)

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Combine dry ingredients, then add wet and mix with a fork. Form into three little balls. (Do not smush.) Cook for 8-9 minutes. Take out when still a bit undercooked, so they don’t get hard, and wait at least 5 minutes before trying to remove from tray. Store in a plastic container for soft cookies, or a glass container for crispy cookies.

    Major cravings going on over those cookie dough balls!

  2. Jamie says:

    Mine would totally be Chocolate Peanut butter, banana and raspberry jam flavoured cookie dough. I haven’t tried making them that way yet, but all my favourite things in one cookie would be amazing.

    As someone who is incapable of portion control, THANK YOU. I like to be able to eat a whole recipe and not have that be a bad thing.

    I’m gluten intolerant so I just subbed the bob’s all purpose mix for the flour and it worked great! I don’t have sprinkles though 🙁

    1. chocolate-katie says:

      Aww yay! I’m so excited it worked for you! And sprinkles are more for the presentation than taste anyways ;).

  4. Melanie says:

    Mmmm I made these today. I used coconut oil, ww pastry flour, and dark chocolate chips. They were amazing! The cookies flattened out though. It might have been the type of oil I used..not sure. My uncle had one too and liked it! =)

    1. Chocolate-Covered Katie says:

      I’m so excited you liked them!!
      I’m not sure why they would’ve flattened out… maybe you could try making the balls smaller? Or maybe less liquid? LOL can you tell I really don’t know about the science of cooking? I need Alton Brown (from the Food Network)!

      1. Melanie says:

        Tried them again and they turned out perfect…not sure what I did wrong the last time. =)

        1. Chocolate-Covered Katie says:

          Aww yay! That makes me SO happy!!!

  5. Jenn says:

    I am very excited about trying to make this this evening! They look fantastic 🙂

  6. Jenn says:

    I just made these and they are lovely! I substituted chocolate bits for two marshmallows 🙂 Very nice and gooey on the inside! Thanks for another great recipe 🙂

    1. Chocolate-Covered Katie says:

      You had me at gooey!! 🙂

  7. Tiffany says:

    They came out tasting like baking soda, that’s no bueno. Perhaps I made a mistake. And if I were to use date paste as a sweetener is it still a tsp and a half?

    1. Chocolate-Covered Katie says:

      Sorry, I’ve never used date past so I can’t tell ya 😕

  8. Rande @ The Vegetable Centric Kitchen says:

    I added almonds and dark chocolate chips to these and they are baking in the oven smelling wonderful!

    Hi, I just found your site and I am excited to try your recipies.

    Question. Can you use regular milk instead of non dairy milk or does it need to be non dairy?

    1. Chocolate-Covered Katie says:

      Yes, you can use whatever you have on hand… unless a recipe specifically calls for “canned coconut milk.” 🙂

  10. J.Wellins says:

    CCK, I love/adore/obsess over your recipes, but I’m not quite sure how or why this one failed me?? I tried doubling the recipe to allow for an offered share with the bf, and the cookie “balls” came out flat and dough-ey. Maybe I’m not understanding the ball concept? Can you elaborate on this?
    LOVE LOVE LOVE you!

    1. Chocolate-Covered Katie says:

      What flour did you use? Can you give me more specifics? It’s very hard to know what might’ve gone wrong, since I wasn’t there :(.
