FUNFETTI CAKE MIX INGREDIENTS
- Vanilla or Funfetti cake mix: you can use either one. The only difference between Funfetti and Vanilla is the Funfetti has sprinkles in the cake mix.
- Baking powder: just a little will make these cookies rise and get extra fluffy.
- Eggs: for moisture and texture.
- Vegetable oil: binds the ingredients and gives the cookies a soft cake-like consistency.
- Vanilla extract: enhances the flavors of the cake mix, plus adds more.
- Sprinkles: the best part! You can use any type of sprinkles. Use different colors for different themed holidays or occasions. 🙂
HOW TO MAKE COOKIES OUT OF CAKE MIX
-
MIX WET AND DRY INGREDIENTS. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. In a large mixing bowl, mix together the cake mix and baking powder. In a small bowl, mix the eggs, oil, and vanilla extract.
-
COMBINE AND FOLD IN SPRINKLES. Add the egg mixture to the cake mixture and stir until there are no cake mix white pockets. Make sure the batter is smooth and fluffy- but don’t over-mix. Fold in the sprinkles until combined (save some sprinkles for the topping).
-
SCOOP AND BAKE. With a mini ice-cream scooper, scoop the cookie dough onto a lightly greased cookie sheet 1 inch apart. Top each cookie with more sprinkles and bake for 9-12 minutes (they may look under-cooked). Place on cooling rack and let cool for 10 minutes.
STORING LEFTOVER COOKIES
Before storing, make sure the cookies are completely cool before storing. Store them at room temperature in an airtight container or large ziplock bag. They will stay fresh for 7 days. They will still be ok to eat after 7 days but they may start to get crumbly and stale.

Hi Sally, I am so happy your grandkids loved these cake mix cookies 🙂 thanks for trying my recipes!
Love this recipe. My kids made this on their own. We subbed oil for butter. We had a holiday Funfetti mix that worked well. Their batch needed 12 minutes to bake. Soft and great for my baby bakers. Thanks!
can you maybe give the amounts of how much each ingredient to add? thanks
Amazing and so perfect
Thank you so much!
