Whether it’s a special occasion or you’re just craving a sprinkle of joy, these cookies will be your go-to treat for instant smiles! The perfect blend of sweetness and whimsy, they’re sure to be a hit with kids and adults.

1. Preheat & Prep: Set your oven to 350°F and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the Funfetti Cake Mix with the baking powder.
3. Whisk Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, blend the eggs, oil, and vanilla until the mixture takes on a pale yellow hue. Fold the wet ingredients into the dry mixture until everything is well combined.
4. Shape the Cookies: Create 1-inch balls from the dough and place them on the baking sheets, spaced two inches apart. Add more sprinkles on each cookie, pressing lightly so they adhere.
5. Bake: Without flattening the dough balls, bake for about 9 minutes.
6. Cool & Set: Once out of the oven, let the cookies stand on the baking sheet for 2 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Useful Tips for the Perfect Funfetti Cookies

• Don’t Overbake: Keep an eye on the cookies. Baking for just 9 minutes ensures they remain soft and pillowy.
• Let Them Rest: After taking the cookies out of the oven, allowing them to stand for 2 minutes helps them set while retaining their soft texture.
• Storage: These cookies are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days.

ENJOY!

Equipment

• Parchment Paper
• Measuring Cups and Spoons
• Mixing Bowls

Notes

• Room Temperature Ingredients: For more consistent results, use eggs that are at room temperature before mixing them in.
• Don’t Overbake: Monitor the baking closely. A 9-minute bake time will keep the cookies tender and soft.
• Sprinkle Variation: Try different types and colors of sprinkles depending on the occasion – seasonal colors for holidays, pastels for birthdays, or even themed shapes!
• Cookie Size: Ensure consistent cookie size by using a cookie scoop.
• Allow Cooling Time: Once removed from the oven, give the cookies a couple of minutes to firm up without losing their delicate consistency.
• Cooling the Baking Sheet: Before baking a new batch, and if using the same baking sheet, ensure the baking sheet has cooled completely. This helps prevent the cookies from spreading too much if the dough starts to melt before baking.
• Avoid Stacking: When storing, it’s a good idea to place parchment paper between cookie layers in the container to prevent them from sticking together.
