24 Servings
Ingredients
- 1 15.25 ounce box Funfetti cake mix (or similar variety with candy bits)
- 2 large eggs
- 1/3 cup vegetable oil
- 1/3 cup confectioners' sugar
- 5 tablespoons rainbow candy sprinkles
Instructions
Preheat the oven:
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Prepare baking sheets by lining them with parchment paper or lightly greasing them to prevent sticking.
Prepare the cookie dough:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the Funfetti cake mix, eggs, and vegetable oil. Stir until all ingredients are thoroughly blended and a soft dough forms.
Combine sugar and sprinkles:
- In a separate small bowl, mix together the confectioners' sugar and rainbow sprinkles until evenly combined. This mixture will be used to coat the dough balls.
Shape the dough:
- Portion the dough by rolling it into 1-inch balls using your hands. Ensure they are uniform in size for even baking.
Coat the dough balls:
- Roll each dough ball in the sugar and sprinkle mixture, ensuring they are evenly coated on all sides. Place them on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them approximately 2 inches apart.
Bake the cookies:
- Transfer the baking sheets to the preheated oven and bake for approximately 6 minutes, or until the tops of the cookies are just set and lightly golden. Monitor closely, as baking time may vary slightly depending on your oven.
Cool the cookies:
- Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheets for about 5 minutes. Then, transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely before serving or storing.
