Description
These Easy Confetti Cookies are a delightful way to enjoy soft, chewy cookies bursting with colorful sprinkles. With simple ingredients like white cake mix and butter, they’re easy to prepare for any gathering or just a sweet snack at home.
Ingredients
Scale
- 13.25 oz white cake mix box
- ½ cup unsalted butter, melted, slightly cooled
- 2 large eggs
- 5 tablespoons rainbow confetti sprinkles, plus more for rolling
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract, optional
- ¼ teaspoon almond extract, optional
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, mix together the dry cake mix, melted butter, eggs, and optional extracts until a thick dough forms.
- Gently fold in the rainbow sprinkles without over-mixing; the dough will be sticky and tacky.
- Let the dough rest for about 5 minutes to allow the cake mix to absorb moisture and thicken.
- Use a medium cookie scoop to portion out the dough.
- Roll each dough ball in extra sprinkles, gently pressing to coat well.
- Space the coated dough balls about 3 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets and bake for 10-12 minutes until the edges are set but the centers look slightly underdone.
- Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to firm up.
Notes
For best results, ensure your butter is melted and slightly cooled before mixing.
The cookies will puff up while baking and deflate as they cool, creating a chewy center.
Experiment with different sprinkle colors for various festive occasions.
