FAQs

Can I use any flavor of cake mix?

Yes! You absolutely can pick up any flavor of cake mix to make these cookies. The recipe does not change at all, but the flavor will depend on what flavor of cake mix you use. Try strawberry, carrot, or even German chocolate cake mix!

How is Funfetti different from vanilla?

Funfetti cake mix is essentially white cake flavored with vanilla extract and studded with sprinkles. This gives it a fun festive appearance and a slightly sweeter taste.

Why did my cookies fall apart?
