Main Ingredients
- 1 (15.25 ounce) box funfetti cake mix
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil (e.g. canola)
- 2 large eggs
- Rainbow sprinkles (optional, for extra fun and color)
Instructions
- Mix Ingredients: Add the funfetti cake mix, vegetable oil, eggs, and rainbow sprinkles (if using extra) to a large mixing bowl. Using an electric hand mixer, blend everything together until fully combined into a smooth dough.
- Chill Dough: Chill the dough for 30 minutes to reduce stickiness and help the cookies puff slightly during baking. This step is optional but recommended for better texture. If time is short, you may skip chilling.
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper or a Silpat non-stick mat for easy cookie removal.
- Form Cookies: Shape the dough into 2-inch balls and place them on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them at least 2 inches apart to allow for spreading during baking.
- Bake: Bake the cookies for 11 to 13 minutes until they are set. The edges should be lightly golden while the centers remain soft.
- Cool: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack to cool completely.
- Optional Frosting: For an extra treat, frost the cooled cookies using your favorite funfetti frosting recipe for added flavor and festivity.
Notes
- Chilling the dough helps prevent spreading and makes handling easier, but you can bake immediately if needed.
- Using a Silpat or parchment paper ensures the cookies don’t stick to the baking sheet.
- Adjust baking time slightly depending on your oven—cookies should be set but not overly browned.
- Sprinkles can be added into the dough or pressed on top of the cookie balls before baking for extra color.
- Store cooled cookies in an airtight container to keep them soft and fresh for up to 3 days.
