Howdy.
I’m a funfetti cookie dough ball.
Want to eat me?
Well of course you do!
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.
Funfetti Cookie Dough Balls
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.
These would be perfect to throw into a Cake Batter Milkshake.

Hi Katie, I saw one of your other recipes on pinterest and so was eager to have a look at your site. Seeing this recipe I couldn’t wait to try it, and since I was home, and it was just about teatime, I decided to give it a go. I have to say, they tasted delicious! Only sad thing was they went completely flat in the oven (even though I rolled the dough into balls before baking). As I said, they were fantastic and so quick to make, I’ll definitely be making them again sometime soon (not to mention trying out a whole lot of your other recipes)! Thanks

Stacy, mine went flat, too. Next time I may try using less milk or refrigerating the dough first.
Chocolate-Covered Katie says
Maybe make smaller balls? Mine always stay round. Also, maybe it depends on the flour… what flour did you use?

I LOVE oatmeal coconut chocolate chip cookies! I made some from a recipe I changed a but and they were “So good I almost cried” as quoted from my sister! I love you’re siteeeee! all the recipes I wanted and healthy!
Amy says
I made these the other night, and with my fantastic short attention span, I missed the last two ingredients (sugar and milk). however, to my surprise, when I took them out of the oven they looked and tasted exactly like shortbread cookies! they were absolutely delicious and I will be making them again soon!

These are AWESOME. I have NO chocolate chips, sprinkles…anything in my cupboard right now. Everything is packed up as my husband and I are moving in a week and a half to a downtown loft. SOOOOOOO…I took out the small bag of cinnamon/brown sugar I was going to toss out and rolled these cookie dough balls around in the mixture. Kind of like a snickerdoodle! They are mmmmm, good.
Christy says
i just made these, so good and it only took 15 minutes to be out of the oven and done! i bet this would taste amazing with cocoa powder cuz ya know EVERYTHING taste better with chocolate 😉
Christina says
I just made these and one batch came out great but then i tried to double the recipe and it didn’t turn out right. I also was not able to keep these cookies as balls. Does anybody have suggestions for this?
Chocolate-Covered Katie says
Some recipes just can’t be doubled by simply doubling all of the ingredients. It just doesn’t always work 😕
Ella says
Love this idea! SO want to make them. Any idea what the nutrition facts are? 🙂
Jessica says
I just made these with the pumpkin peanut butter instead of the oil/margarine and they were sooo yummy!
Kim says
I tried this yesterday, and I absolutely fell in love with them!! They are perfect for a quick sweet craving snack and they taste amazinggg!
Thank you soo much for the recipe I can’t wait to try other ones:)
Haley says
These are sooooo good! I didn’t have any chocolate chips so I rolled the balls in cinnamon and sugar 🙂 like little snicker doodles!
DEC Chris says
I am going to use cannaoil. So excited for the results! Thank you for the great recipe!
Beth P. says
I made the funfetti cookie dough balls for myself and my son tried one and loved them and wants me to make a big batch. Do you have the recipe for a large batch? Thanks!
Chocolate Covered Katie says
Hi Beth!
Unfortunately I don’t have a recipe… but you can always use my regular chocolate chip cookie recipe and just add sprinkles :).
Emma says
Can you use applesauce instead of butter??
layotte25 says
do you have the measurements to make a dozen? Thanks! I love them.
Chocolate Covered Katie says
Sorry, I don’t 🙁
Emma W. says
Just curious, would these be fine to eat raw?(:

Hey! FANTASTIC recipe. These are my new favourite cookie! I pressed them down before putting them in the oven (but only so that it was slightly indented, but still rather round) and baked them for about ten or eleven minutes. I put too many sprinkles in but that’s easily remedied by making another batch ehehe. I made it with the cake batter milkshake and it was delicious! I’m not too experienced with a blender though, so it was a tad oily at the top, but I just skimmed it with a toothpick. I used coconut oil and if I wasn’t a hopeless wreck with a blender it would have been fine. Good job on this recipe!
Gregoria says
I made these today! I was hoping for a ball of dough, but mine flattened out and I had buttery sweet pancakes. Not bad. They were definitely cookie doughey! I used brown rice flour and whole wheat flour as well as real butter. Brown rice flour tends to flatten my cookies, but I’m definitely not complaining! Another batch is in the oven. Mmm… thanks for the recipe and take care 🙂
Jess says
Hey Katie!
Have you ever made these for a group of people? If so, do you have the slightly larger scaled recipe? Also, how did it turn out when it was more than single serving??
CCK Media Team says
Hi! We don’t have this specific recipe in a larger size but here is a similar one and you could definitely add sprinkles: https://chocolatecoveredkatie.com/cookie-dough-balls/
