There are so many fun ways to use a boxed cake mix, besides just making cake! These Funfetti Cookies are lots of fun to make with kids or for a birthday party. They taste similar to sugar cookies and are super soft! And they stayed soft, even the next day.
Choose any Funfetti cake mix from the store. I used this one from Pillsbury. Adding the extra ingredients will give the cake mix a dough-y consistency so that you can make individual cookies.
Here’s the recipe:
1 box Funfetti cake mix (18.25 oz)
1 tsp baking powder
2 eggs
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1/2 tsp vanilla
Color Sprinkles to top
Preheat the oven to 350. Combine the cake mix and baking powder in a bowl. Add the eggs, oil and vanilla and stir well. Pour some color sprinkles into a small bowl. Take spoonfuls of the dough and dip into the sprinkles to top them. Place on an ungreased cookie sheet and bake for 8 to 10 minutes.
