Funfetti Cookies

I have been making the super basic Funfetti cookies for years now, you know, the ones with just the cake mix, eggs and vegetable oil? Those still seem very cake-like to me, though. So I’ve been testing a true cookie recipe that replaces some of the flour with the Funfetti Cake Mix (for ultimate Funfetti flavor, ya know.) and I am happy to report that I have finally nailed it.

I have nailed it just in time for my baby’s (who isn’t such a baby anymore!) birthday tomorrow! She loves her cookies so much so we are celebrating with these! If you love reading birth stories like I do, you can find Brielle’s Birth Story here. 🙂

Ingredients for Funfetti Cookies

  • 1/2 cup butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 3/4 cup flour
  • 16.5 oz sprinkle cake mix (I usually use the store brand!)
  • Extra sprinkles, if desired. 

How to make Soft Funfetti Cookies 

To make the cookies, first cream together the butter and sugar in a medium sized bowl for about one minute. Add in the eggs and vanilla, mix until completely smooth.  Next, the flour and sprinkle cake mix will go into the bowl. Mix until the cookie dough forms, the cookie dough should be slight sticky, but you should be able to roll it into a ball. Finally, add in extra sprinkles if you want! I am a firm believer in MORE SPRINKLES!! 

Scoop the dough onto an un-greased cookie sheet. I use my #50 cookie scoop I purchased from Amazon and use two scoops of dough for each cookie. This is equal to about 2 tbsp worth of dough for each cookie.

We will bake these cookies at 350° for 10-12 minutes. The cookies will spread a bit, I generally only place 8 cookies on each cookie sheet. 

Allow the cookies to cool for 3-5 minutes before transferring to a wire cooling rack.

Can I use a different Cake Mix Flavor?

Yes! Red velvet, chocolate, white, you name it! This recipe is so versatile!

Can I freeze my Funfetti Cookies?

Double yes! I love freezing these cookies. Once the cookies have cooled completely, freeze on a cookie tray for about 30 minutes before tossing the cookies into a zip top bag and storing in the freezer. Freezing for that first 30 minutes will make it so the cookies don’t freeze to each other!
