20 Servings
Ingredients
- 1 15.25-ounce box Funfetti cake mix
- 1 stick unsalted butter melted
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup rainbow sprinkles for rolling (optional)
Instructions
Prepare the Oven and Baking Sheets
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (177°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside.
Combine the Dough Ingredients
- In a large mixing bowl, add the Funfetti cake mix, melted butter, and eggs. Using a sturdy spatula, stir the mixture until a smooth and evenly blended dough forms. The dough will be thick.
Portion the Cookie Dough
- Using a medium cookie scoop or a heaping tablespoon, portion the dough into 1 1/2-tablespoon mounds. Place each mound onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them at least 2 inches apart.
- If desired, roll each portion in rainbow sprinkles before placing it back onto the baking sheet.
Bake the Cookies
- Transfer the baking sheets to the oven. Bake for 10 to 14 minutes, or until the cookies are puffed, set, and lightly golden at the edges.
Cool and Store
- Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 2 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Store leftover cookies in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
Notes
To make this recipe gluten-free, substitute the Funfetti cake mix with a certified gluten-free cake mix of the same weight (15–16 ounces). Ensure the cake mix includes xanthan gum or another binder for structure. Choose gluten-free, certified sprinkles if rolling the dough for decoration.
