Ingredients
Cookie Dough
- 1 box (15.25 oz) Funfetti Cake Mix
- ½ cup vegetable oil
- 2 large eggs
Frosting & Decoration
- 1 cup vanilla frosting
- Rainbow sprinkles (as desired)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make clean-up easier.
- Prepare Dough: In a large bowl, combine the Funfetti cake mix, vegetable oil, and eggs. Stir thoroughly until a uniform dough forms, ensuring all ingredients are well incorporated.
- Portion Cookies: Using a cookie scoop or spoon, drop rounded spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 3 inches apart to allow for spreading during baking.
- Bake Cookies: Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake the cookies for 10-12 minutes, or until they are set and slightly golden on the edges.
- Flatten Cookies: Remove the cookies from the oven. Since cake mix cookies tend to rise in the center while baking, gently press down the center of each cookie while still warm to flatten them slightly, which will help in easier frosting application.
- Cool Cookies: Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for about 2 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely, ensuring the frosting will not melt when applied.
- Frost and Decorate: Once the cookies are fully cooled, spread a layer of vanilla frosting onto each cookie and sprinkle liberally with rainbow sprinkles for a festive finish.
Notes
- For softer cookies, avoid overbaking; remove them as soon as edges begin to set.
- You can substitute vegetable oil with melted coconut oil for a slight flavor variation.
- Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
- Chilling the dough for 30 minutes prior to baking can help prevent excessive spreading.
- Feel free to customize with different frosting flavors or sprinkle types based on occasion.
