Cuisine: American
Serves: 12 cookies
Ingredients
- 1 box funfetti cake mix
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup sprinkles
- 1 cup frosting
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the funfetti cake mix, vegetable oil, and eggs. Mix thoroughly using an electric mixer or whisk until a smooth, consistent dough forms.
- Gently fold in the additional sprinkles, distributing them evenly throughout the cookie dough.
- Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers appear set but still soft.
- Remove from the oven and let cookies cool completely on the baking sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool entirely.
- Once cookies are completely cooled, spread a generous dollop of frosting on the flat side of one cookie, then sandwich with another cookie.
- Optional: Roll the edges of the sandwich cookie in additional sprinkles for extra decoration and crunch.
- Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3-4 days.
Tips
- Use room temperature eggs and oil for smoother, more consistent dough mixing.
- Don't overmix the dough - mix just until ingredients are combined to keep cookies tender.
- For uniform cookies, use a cookie scoop to ensure consistent sizing.
- Allow cookies to cool completely before adding frosting to prevent melting.
- For extra festive look, use colored frosting that complements the sprinkles.
- Chill the dough for 15-20 minutes before baking if you want thicker, less spread-out cookies.
- Store cookies between layers of parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- For maximum freshness, add sprinkles just before serving to maintain their crunch.
