How to Make Easy Funfetti Cake Mix Cookies
Before you begin, preheat your oven, and grease large baking sheets.
- Combine the ingredients: Add the Funfetti cake mix, oil, and eggs to a large bowl. Mix until light and fluffy.
- Chill the cookie dough: Transfer the bowl to the fridge to chill. This makes it easier to shape the cookies!
- Portion: Use a medium cookie scoop to portion the dough, rolling it into balls. Then, roll each cookie in extra sprinkles.
- Bake: Place the cookie dough balls on the prepared baking sheet, and bake until the edges are lightly golden.
- Cool: Allow your Funfetti cookies to cool on the pan for a few minutes. Then, transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Quick Tip:
Add frosting! While your cookies cool whip up a batch of cream cheese frosting with cream cheese, butter, and sugar. Or, grab your favorite store-bought option. Then, frost your cookies to make them extra sweet.
How to Store Funfetti Cake Mix Cookies
Store cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to four days.
Freeze leftover cookies for up to two months. To do so, place them on a baking sheet, and freeze until solid. Then, transfer them to a sealable bag, and store your cookies in the freezer.
Thaw frozen cookies in the fridge overnight. Or, leave them out at room temperature for a few hours, and enjoy!
FAQs
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!
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.
The most common reason for the cookies falling apart is overbaking. Be sure to keep a close eye on your oven! The cookies will continue to bake and set as they cool. So, be sure to remove them from the oven as soon as the edges are lightly golden.
