Cake Mix Confetti Cookies
Do you frequently have friends and family stop by? Whenever I do, I always like to have something tasty available to serve them, or give them to take home. It’s built into my nature that I can’t let anyone leave my house without me sharing something with them. It just feels wrong. 🙂
But that doesn’t mean I spend hours in the kitchen baking, not hardly. I’m busy just like you are. So I love to have some quick recipes in mind that I can put together, from ingredients on hand, that’s are still fun and yummy.
I really like to keep a few brownie and cake mixes in my pantry specifically for a fast dessert for guests. Cake mix cookies are one of my favorites. A cake mix is actually pretty versatile, so if you’re not in the mood for cake, grab a cake mix anyway and try a fruit cobbler dessert, doughnuts, blondies, rice crispy treats or these fun Cake Mix Confetti Cookies!
You can find tons of variations on cake mix cookies with a quick search, but these are the most colorful! 🙂
Cake Mix Confetti Cookies
Ingredients:
- 1 box vanilla, white, or yellow cake mix (around 15 – 16 ounces)
- 2 eggs
- 1/3 cup vegetable oil or melted butter
- 1/4 cup + 1 Tablespoon confetti sprinkles
These are pretty much the only kind of sprinkles/jimmies I like; they’re the best! 🙂 If you look through the different frostings at the grocery some of them come with the sprinkles on the lid already.
Directions:
Step 1: Stir together the cake mix, oil and eggs.
Step 2: Lightly stir in the sprinkles.
Step 3: Drop by rounded teaspoonfuls onto a baking sheet covered with parchment paper or lightly sprayed with cooking oil. If you’re doing the right size, this should make 2 dozen cookies.
Step 4: Bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for about 12 minutes.
Step 5: Let cool and then frost. I like to use about 1/2 cup of lightly softened store bought vanilla frosting. I put it in a zip top bag, cut the tip off, and then use it to pipe on the frosting.
Step 6: Sprinkle the tops with the remaining sprinkles.
This recipe makes 24 delicious cookies.
