How to Make Funfetti Cake Mix Cookies
Step 1. While the oven is preheating, combine all of the ingredients in a mixing bowl. Do not add the sprinkles yet.
Step 2. Add the sprinkles and fold into the mixture. The cake batter will be thick, but this is normal.
Step 3. Scoop the cookie dough into balls. I like to use a cookie scoop.
Step 4. Put the cookies on the baking sheet about 2 inches between each cookie. They will spread so make sure to leave room between each one.
Step 5. You can add more sprinkles if desired.
Step 6. Bake until lightly golden brown around the edges. Allow to sit a few minutes before transferring to a cooling rack.
Frequently Asked Questions
Store confetti cookies at room temperature inside an airtight container. You can add a piece of bread to keep their soft texture.
Yes, the cookies are easy to freeze. You can freeze the cookie dough before baking. Simply form the cookie dough balls as normal and flash freeze them on a cookie sheet. After 1 to 2 hours, transfer the cookies to a freezer container. Bake as normal but add a few extra minutes if frozen.
You can also freeze the cookies already baked. Allow to cool and place inside a freezer container.
Pro Tips
- Prepare the pan. I like to use a silicone baking mat or parchment paper.
- Don’t overbake the cookies. They should be a light golden brown and will continue to set on the pan.
- Use a cookie scoop. The cookies are easy to make into 1-inch balls using a cookie scoop.
