Funfetti Cake Mix Cookies
A party in cookie form! Funfetti Cake Mix Cookies are crispy on the outside, soft and cake-like on the inside, and full of rainbow sprinkles and white chocolate chips.
Servings: 15 cookies
Calories: 125kcal
Ingredients
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 cup avocado oil
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
- 1/4 teaspoon almond extract
- 1 (15.25-ounce) box Yellow Cake Mix sub Funfetti Cake Mix
- 2/3 cup white chocolate chips
- 3 tablespoons rainbow sprinkles plus more for the tops omit if using store-bought Funfetti cake mix
Instructions
- Prep: Preheat oven to 350°F and prepare a cookie sheet by lining with parchment or coating with cooking spray. The cookies spread out quite a bit so it may be necessary to use more than one baking sheet or bake in batches.
- Wet Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together eggs, oil, vanilla, and almond extract until fully combined.
- Combine: Add cake mix to liquid ingredients and stir with a spatula or spoon until the dough is almost combined. Add white chocolate chips and sprinkles and continue to mix until no more cake mix is visible.
- Portion: Form round balls using 2 rounded tablespoons of dough and place 2-3 inches apart on the cookie sheet. Sprinkle more sprinkles on top, if desired.
- Bake: Bake for 12-14 minutes, rotating halfway through. Cookies will be done when they are almost fully set on the edges and slightly golden on the bottom.
- Store: Let cool for a couple of minutes on the cookie sheet before transferring to a wire rack to let cool completely. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for 3-4 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months.

Notes
- Using our Yellow Cake Mix recipe will result in cookies that are thinner, crispy on the outside, and doughy in the middle. (The good news is they will be free from preservatives and additives in store-bought cake mix.) Using a store-bought mix will create a little thicker, cake-like cookies with a recognizable “cake mix/batter” flavor.
- Rainbow nonpareils (the little spheres) may be more likely to bleed color into the dough compared to rainbow jimmies (the little logs). Any type or color of sprinkles can be used.
- If using store-bought Funfetti cake mix, omit sprinkles.
- Be careful not to over bake these cookies – it’s okay if they’re a little underbaked in the middle because they will continue to bake and solidify as they cool.
- More variations to try: Mix in semisweet chocolate chips, M&M’s, chopped almonds, etc. Drizzle cooled cookies with white chocolate.
