Cook Time: 12 mins
Total Time: 22 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 24 cookies
Ingredients
- 1 box funfetti cake mix
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup sprinkles
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to prevent the cookies from sticking.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the box of funfetti cake mix with the vegetable oil. Stir until the mixture is well combined and there are no dry patches.
- Add the two large eggs to the bowl. Mix thoroughly until the eggs are fully incorporated into the batter, creating a smooth consistency.
- Stir in the 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract, ensuring it is evenly distributed throughout the cookie dough.
- Gently fold in the 1/2 cup of sprinkles, making sure they are evenly mixed into the dough without breaking them apart.
- Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading during baking.
- Once all the dough is on the baking sheet, you can add a few extra sprinkles on top of each cookie for a colorful presentation, if desired.
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers may look slightly underbaked, which is fine as they will continue to set as they cool.
- Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Enjoy your delicious Cake Batter Funfetti Cookies with a glass of milk or your favorite beverage!
Tips
- Use Room Temperature Ingredients: For the best texture, make sure your eggs are at room temperature before mixing them into the batter. This helps create a smoother dough.
- Don’t Overmix: Once you add the eggs and sprinkles, mix just until combined. Overmixing can lead to tough cookies, so be gentle!
- Chill the Dough: If you have time, chill the cookie dough for 30 minutes before baking. This helps the cookies maintain their shape and results in a thicker, chewier cookie.
- Watch the Baking Time: Keep a close eye on your cookies while they bake. They should be lightly golden around the edges but still soft in the center. They will firm up as they cool.
- Add Extra Sprinkles: For a fun presentation, sprinkle a few extra funfetti sprinkles on top of the cookies before baking. It adds a festive touch that everyone will love!
- Storage Tips: Store your cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. You can also freeze them for longer storage—just make sure they’re well-wrapped!
