Ingredients
Cookie Dough
- 1 (15.25 ounce) confetti cake mix (such as Funfetti)
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 2 large eggs
Topping
- 1/4 cup sprinkles (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375˚F (190˚C) to ensure it reaches the proper baking temperature before placing the cookies inside.
- Mix Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the confetti cake mix, vegetable oil, and eggs. Use an electric mixer or mix by hand until the dough is smooth and well incorporated.
- Shape Cookies: Using a rounded tablespoon, scoop portions of the cookie dough onto a baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading during baking.
- Add Sprinkles: Gently press a few sprinkles on top of each portion of cookie dough for added color and texture.
- Bake Cookies: Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake the cookies for 9 to 10 minutes, or until the cookies appear set and are no longer shiny on top.
- Cool Cookies: Remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the sheet for 2 to 3 minutes to firm up, then transfer them to a wire cooling rack to cool completely.
Notes
- For best results, do not overmix the dough to prevent tough cookies.
- Sprinkles are optional but add a fun pop of color and sweetness.
- You can store baked cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
- If you prefer gluten-free, use a gluten-free cake mix alternative.
