How to make cookies using white cake mix
So, what’s the craze with using store-bought cake mix as a shortcut to making cookies? Cookie dough in 10 – 15 minutes is why. I’m sharing my version of Soft White Cake Funfetti Cookies. Filled with Funfetti sprinkles of your choice, kids will love making a batch of thier own. They can be as creative as they want to be and a perfect project for a rainy day.
Start with a white cake mix brand of choice in a large bowl. I prefer Pillsbury brand but use what you like. Next, whisk in baking powder.
Using a hand mixer, beat in eggs, one at a time until well combined. The mixture will be crumbly but not dry. Mix in vegetable oil and vanilla until thoroughly combined.
With a large spatula, stir in Funfetti sprinkles until evenly mixed. Now, I used Wilton brand in 4 colors like pink, blue, green, and yellow in the cookie dough. You can incorporate all of one color or multiple as I have. Feel free to adjust amount of sprinkles to your liking. Baking these cookies is all about fun and creativity.
Chill cookie dough for 30 minutes to firm up as the dough is soft in texture.
Baking Soft White Cake Funfetti Cookies
To bake the Soft White Cake Cake Funfetti Cookies, line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
Roll dough into 20 cookie balls and roll each ball in organic cane sugar. Place on prepared baking sheet 2-inches apart. The cookies will spread a little yet chilling keeps them from spreading as much.
Bake in a 350 degree oven and watch the magic happen for 10 – 12 minutes. The cookies puff up and begin to crack and only very lightly brown.
Allow cookies to cool on baking sheets to firm up and then remove cookies to wire racks to cool completely.

Your Soft White Cake Funfetti Cookies are baked and ready to devour. The soft texture is delightful and the bit of added crunch from the sugar coating is ideal. The flavor is full-on vanilla yet simple and uncomplicated.
Kids will not be able to keep their hands from the cookie jar. That said, neither will you. Who are we kidding, right? No one eats just one cookie.
