Funfetti Cookie Dough Bites are fun and easy to make. You need simple ingredients. This recipe yields about 15 to 20 bites. The prep time is just 10 minutes, and total time is 40 minutes. Here’s what you will need: - 1 cup all-purpose flour (heat-treated for safety) - 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened - 3/4 cup brown sugar, packed - 1/4 cup granulated sugar - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract - 1/2 teaspoon baking soda - 1/4 teaspoon salt - 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips - 1/4 cup rainbow sprinkles You can swap some ingredients if needed. Use coconut oil instead of butter for a dairy-free option. Brown sugar can be replaced with white sugar, but the flavor changes a bit. If you want a gluten-free version, try a gluten-free flour blend. You can also skip the chocolate chips or sprinkles if you prefer. First, gather your ingredients. You will need heat-treated flour, butter, sugars, vanilla, baking soda, salt, chocolate chips, and sprinkles. Heat-treat the flour to make it safe. To do this, spread it on a baking sheet and bake at 350°F for five minutes. This step ensures you can eat the dough raw without worry. In a large bowl, cream the softened butter with brown and granulated sugars. Mix until it looks light and fluffy. Then, add the vanilla extract and stir until blended. In a separate bowl, combine the heat-treated flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet mixture. Stir until a soft dough forms. Finally, fold in the mini chocolate chips and rainbow sprinkles. Ensure they are evenly mixed throughout the dough for fun flavors in every bite. Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of your dough. Roll each portion into a ball. Place the cookie dough bites on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Refrigerate the bites for about 30 minutes. This step helps them firm up and makes them easier to eat. After chilling, enjoy your Funfetti Cookie Dough Bites right away or store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to one week. Check out the Full Recipe for more details! To boost flavor in your Funfetti cookie dough bites, add a pinch of cinnamon. This spice brings warmth and depth to the sweet mix. You can also experiment with different extracts, like almond or maple, for a fun twist. Just a few drops can change the taste greatly. Try using a mix of chocolate chips, like dark and milk, for extra flavor layers. For a soft and chewy texture, don’t overmix the dough. Mix until just combined. You want it to be slightly sticky but not wet. If the dough feels too dry, add a teaspoon of milk. This small change can make a big difference. Chilling the dough helps it firm up, making it easier to roll into bites. Serve these cookie dough bites in small, colorful cupcake liners. This makes them look festive and fun. You can also add extra rainbow sprinkles on top for a pop of color. These bites pair well with milk, coffee, or even ice cream. For a special treat, drizzle some melted chocolate over them before serving. This adds an exciting finish to your bites and makes them even more appealing. {{image_2}} You can add nut butter to your Funfetti Cookie Dough Bites. Peanut butter or almond butter works well. Just mix in 1/4 cup of nut butter with the butter when you cream the sugars. This twist adds a rich flavor. It also gives your bites a nice creaminess. Try it out for a tasty change! If you need a gluten-free option, use gluten-free flour. This swap will still keep your bites soft and yummy. Remember to use certified gluten-free flour to avoid cross-contamination. Your friends won't even notice the difference! You can enjoy these bites without worrying about gluten. Get creative with your mix-ins! You can add dried fruit like raisins or cranberries. Or try chopped nuts for extra crunch. Even swap out the chocolate chips for butterscotch chips. The options are endless. Mix in what you love to make these bites your own. Each variation gives a fun twist to the classic recipe. For the full recipe, check out the details above! To keep your Funfetti Cookie Dough Bites fresh, store them in an airtight container. This helps prevent them from drying out. Place a piece of parchment paper between layers if you stack them. This way, the bites won’t stick together. Always keep them in the fridge. They taste best when cold and firm. When stored properly, these cookie dough bites last about one week in the fridge. I recommend enjoying them within the first few days for the best flavor and texture. If you notice any changes in smell or texture, it’s best to toss them out to be safe. You can also freeze these bites for later use. To freeze, place the cookie dough bites in a single layer on a baking sheet. Freeze them for about an hour. Once they are firm, transfer them to a freezer-safe bag. They will stay good for up to three months. When you're ready to enjoy, just thaw them in the fridge overnight. The lovely taste will still be there! For the full recipe, check the section above. No, using regular flour can make you sick. Regular flour has not been heated. Heat-treated flour is safe for raw dough. You can heat-treat flour by baking it at 350°F for five minutes. This process kills harmful bacteria. Always use heat-treated flour for cookie dough bites. The dough bites are ready when they feel firm. After rolling them into balls, chill them in the fridge. Wait about 30 minutes before serving. They should hold their shape and not be sticky. This chilling step helps to create a nice texture. Yes, you can make vegan cookie dough bites. Substitute the butter with vegan butter. Use a plant-based milk for moisture. Replace chocolate chips with dairy-free ones. Also, ensure your sprinkles are vegan. These swaps will give you tasty vegan bites.
