How to Make Funfetti Cake Mix Cookies

It’s super easy to make cookies out of cake mix!

Whisk the cake mix and baking powder in a bowl.
In a small bowl, combine the eggs, vanilla, and oil.
Combine the wet mix with the dry mix. Fold in the colored sprinkles.
Drop cookies onto a prepared cookie sheet and bake per recipe below.

How To Store Cookies

Keep cookies in an airtight container for about 4 days. PRO TIP: Place a slice of bread with the cookies to absorb excess moisture and keep the cookies from crumbling. Freeze cooled cookies in a zippered bag for up to 4 weeks.

Quick Tips & Tricks!

Chill the cookie dough for about 30 minutes before scooping and baking. This keeps the cookies super soft in the center and crispy on the edges.
After baking, cool cookies for a couple of minutes right on the baking sheet, and then move to a wire rack.
For bars, press dough into a greased 9”x13” inch pan and bake for 12- 14 minutes. Cool, and cut into squares or rectangles.
