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.

    Just made these, yum!! Love the single-serving-ness, keeps me from overindulging 🙂 I used whole wheat flour, 1/4 tsp of each sugar, and 2 tsp of almondmilk. I also added a tsp of cocoa powder and they were the perfect chocolate fix 🙂 thanks Katie!

    Recently stumbled upon your blog and so glad I did! I love the single serving option. So far I made your single chocolate cake and these cookie dough balls. Both are delicious!

    these are tinier than i thought! but that’s good because then i wont feel bad for eating it all! just came out of the oven and i can’t wait to try them!

    I made these yesterday, and they were so good! I found some paraffin wax (or whatever the edible wax is called) and some small skewers in my kitchen, so with the leftover chocolate chips, I made funfetti cookie pops!

    http://www.amoretti.com/home has many extracts including cake batter and cookie dough. I don’t know if they are vegan though but it’s worth a shot to call and see

    WOOO so I just made these! I tweaked them a little bit…
    essentially I quadrupled them because I DID want a substantial batch. I got it so the flour was exactly 1/2 cup, which means I multiplied everything else by 4.6. To save you the calculations, I’ll post here what I used!

    1/2 cups flour
    1/4 tsp (plus a little bit) baking soda
    1/4 tsp salt
    3.2 Tbsp coconut oil
    1.2 tsp vanilla
    3 Tbsp sprinkles
    1/4 cup choc chips
    3 Tbsp sugar
    1 Tbsp agave
    1-2 Tbsp non-dairy milk (as needed)

    I baked for 7 minutes and they were brown on the bottom and still very light in the middle; a little gooey, so perfect!

    So obviously you’re not going to measure 1.2 tsp of vanilla, so I just rounded everything. My advice: round DOWN for the oil. I used coconut, and I just did a generous (aka sloppy) 3 Tbsp and it was way too much. I didn’t really calculate the soy milk and just added as needed (I think it was around 1 Tbsp). I also didn’t measure the sprinkles or chocolate, but just put in what looked evenly distributed.
    I will say that they completely flattened out, but I didn’t mind since they were delicious and they LOOK gorgeous!

    Thanks so much for this recipe!! And I hope this post helps someone out! 🙂

      Oops, I wish I’d seen your post about 20 min ago, lol… I just quadrupled the recipe as well and you’re right, it was too much oil. I’m guessing it’s maybe just a tiny bit under 2 tsp for the original batch (enough that rounding up doesn’t matter), but when you scale up it becomes an issue. These still taste great, though… Just a little less round than the pictures. 🙂

    Is there a no bake version of Funfetti cookie dough balls?

  8. Anglaise says:

    I made this recipe with applesauce instead of margarine/oil and it came to around 50 calories! So good!

  9. Basil says:

    I got around to making these the other night… 😀
    That’s pretty much all I have to say… although, I was SO sad that I couldn’t find sprinkles without partially hydrogenated oil… but they still tasted good. I think it’s funny how I can mix cookies together in a tea mug, because the batch is so small!

    1. Rachael says:

      I make my own sprinkles for that reason. It’s easy: when I make royal icing and am done frosting my cookies I pipe parallel lines of leftover icing onto wax paper, let it dry completely (till it’s brittle) and cut little sprinkle size pieces using a large knife held perpendicular to the lines of frosting. Then I make a funnel of the wax paper and pour them into a mason jar with a tight lid. Now I have gluten-free, HFCS-free, hydrogenated oil-free sprinkles to add to what ever, when ever. Long shelf life too. (I usually use vanilla and/or almond extract in my royal icing so it goes with most things – left over Christmas icing may have peppermint in it and I store it separately).
