  • Total Time: 15-17 minutes
  • Yield: 18 cookies

Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 1 box Funfetti cake mix (do not use the ingredients listed on the box)
  • 1/3 cup canola oil
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 tablespoons sprinkles (optional)

For Decoration (Optional)

  • Additional sprinkles (Nonpareils or Jimmies) for rolling or topping

Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, thoroughly mix the Funfetti cake mix, canola oil, and eggs until the batter is moist and well blended.
  2. Add Sprinkles: If desired, fold in 2 tablespoons of sprinkles into the batter to add extra color and fun throughout the cookies.
  3. Shape Cookies: Using a cookie scoop or by hand, form the dough into 1-inch balls. For an extra festive look, roll each ball into additional sprinkles or sprinkle them on top before baking.
  4. Bake: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the cookie dough balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes until the edges are golden and the cookies are set but still soft in the center.
  5. Cool and Serve: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy your colorful and delicious Funfetti Cake Mix Cookies!

Notes

  • Do not use the ingredients listed on the cake mix box; only use the cake mix itself.
  • Baking time may vary slightly depending on your oven; keep an eye on the cookies to avoid overbaking.
  • Using nonpareils or jimmies sprinkles for rolling enhances texture and appearance without bleeding colors as much as some types of sprinkles.
  • The cookies will be soft and cake-like in texture.
  • You can store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3-4 days.
