I’m perfectly content with the raw dough.
The sweet, rich, sprinkle-filled dough satisfies cookie dough cravings, and it’s safe to eat raw. No eggs. Over my lifetime I’ve eaten my weight in raw dough and batter, but many people get pretty freaked out about raw eggs. Thankfully this recipe is freakout-free.
The cookie dough balls are fast and easy to make, and perfect for when you just need a quick treat. You can whip a batch up in less than 10 minutes. Maybe they’re a little too fast and easy, but thankfully the recipe just makes a baker’s dozen and they’ll keep for months in the fridge or freezer.
The dough balls taste just like real Funfetti cookie dough. There’s plenty of sprinkles and just the right amount of white chocolate chips for flavor, but not so many that they’ll fall out. I tend to overload my dough. Baking soda is added for flavor authenticity rather than for structural results. I wouldn’t bake the dough because I suspect the cookies would spread since there’s no egg to lend structure, a high ratio of granulated sugar, and not enough baking soda. For a sure thing, make these Softbatch Funfetti Sugar Cookies.
I made the cookie dough balls in honor of my friend Sally and her upcoming wedding. Some friends and I are throwing her an online bridal shower today and everyone is posting recipes with sprinkles. Sprinkles are Sally’s kryptonite and I think she has more recipes with sprinkles and Funfetti than anyone else. I’ve known Sally since the early days of both of our blogs. I remember getting about 10 comments from this unknown girl named Sally in 2011 and finally went to her site to check it out and left her a comment. She later told me that my comment was the first comment she ever received on her blog. Over the years, Sally and I have exchanged no less than about ten thousand emails on everything from recipe successes and failures to cookbook writing trials and tribulations to where we’re going on vacation next. I’m so happy for her that she’s marrying the love of her life in just a few short months. I wish her and Kevin nothing but love, happiness, and good fortune. And may there continue to be lots of sprinkles in their life.
