The Healthy Funfetti Cookies are made with a combination of whole wheat flour and jaggery powder. The unicorn sprinkles give a colorful touch to the soft healthy chocolate chip cookies. These are definitely going to be a hit at your next house party!!
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup Butter unsalted, softened
- 3/4 cup Jaggery Powder
- 1 Egg
- 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
- 1 1/2 cups Whole wheat flour
- 1/2 tsp Baking soda
- 1/2 tsp Baking powder
- 1/2 tsp Salt
- 2 Tbsp Funfetti mix (Unicorn Sprinkles) + 1/2 Tbsp optional, for sprinkling on top of each cookie before baking
- 1/2 cup Semi-sweet Chocolate chips + 1 Tbsp optional, for putting ~2 chips on top of each cookie before baking
Instructions
- Mix the butter and jaggery powder till it is completely blended with the butter. I prefer to mix by hand since I don't use mixer. Whisk or spatula is not helpful in this case, since the butter is not in a completely melted state.
- Add in the egg to this mixture. Now add vanilla extract to the above mixture and stir till all the ingredients are uniformly mixed. The wet ingredients mixture is now ready.
- For the dry ingredients, mix in whole wheat flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt to the wet mixture.
- Finally add the Funfetti mixture along with chocolate chips, and give it a good mix with hand. The dough will be a little loose at this stage, so it is advisable to put the dough in the fridge for at least 30-40 minutes.
- Remove the cookie dough from the refrigerator. Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
- Preheat oven to 375 degree F.
- Take around 1-2 tbsp of dough in your hands, form a ball, and flatten a little. I was able to make 14 cookies with the prepared dough.
- (Optional) Using the extra sprinkles and chocolate chips, I sprinkled each cookie with around 2 chocolate chips and 10-15 small Funfetti sprinkles on top and pressed them a little to fix them on top of the cookie. You can skip this step if you want.
- Bake the cookies for around 10-12 minutes in the preheated oven, or till you see creases on top of the cookies. The cookies will be soft to touch, but once cooled, they will be fine.
- Remove the cookies from the oven, and allow them to cool for at least 5-10 minutes.
- The colorful Funfetti Chocolate Chip Cookies are now ready to be served. Also, these can be stored in an air-tight container. Let the party brighten!
Notes
- Whole Wheat Flour – Feel free to replace whole wheat flour with the same quantity of all-purpose flour. If the cookie dough feels a little loose, add ~ 1/4th cup more of all-purpose flour.
- Jaggery Powder – If Jaggery Powder is not available, you can replace it with equal amount of unrefined cane sugar.
- Egg – To make the recipe eggless, I would advise to replace the egg with either of these two options:
- Chia Seed Gel (Mix 1 Tbsp powdered Chia seeds with 3 Tbsp water, and let it soak for 5 minutes)
- Flax Seed Gel (Mix 1 Tbsp powdered Flax seeds with 3 Tbsp water, and let it soak for 5 minutes)
