    How to Make Funfetti Cookies with Cake Mix

    Starting with a Funfetti Cake Mix makes the whole recipe pull together in 5 minutes. Simply mix with eggs and vegetable oil and scoop onto a cookie sheet. They bake up in 8 minutes so you're looking at hot fresh cookies in under 15 minutes flat. It's hard to beat that deal!

    What You Need to Make Funfetti Cookies

    • Funfetti Cake Mix (I have used both regular and gluten-free and both turn out equally delicious!)
    • 2 large eggs
    • ⅓ cup vegetable oil
    • sprinkles for decoration (optional but recommended!)

    Funfetti Cookie Tips:

    • Some sprinkles may bleed when baked, I have had no issue with this using Wilton brand sprinkles
    • Bake until just golden brown at the edges to ensure soft centers

      To make these cake mix cookies softer and better I think use regular cool whip in place of oil. They are so much better that way. Also can roll in confectioners sugar before cooking. Always remember to chill before cooking too.
