Ingredients
15.25ozboxed funfetti cake mix
2large eggs
½cupvegetable oil
¼cupmulti-colored sprinkles
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat. Do not grease.
In a large bowl, mix the cake mix, eggs, oil, and sprinkles until fully combined. The dough will be thick and soft. If the dough is too sticky, chill for 20 to 30 minutes.
Scoop into 2-tablespoon balls and place 2 inches apart on the baking sheet.
Bake at 350°F for 9 to 11 minutes, until edges are set and centers look slightly soft. They won’t brown much.
Cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
Use a 15–16 oz funfetti cake mix for proper texture and consistency
Dough will be thick and slightly sticky - this is normal
Chill dough 20–30 minutes if needed to make scooping easier or reduce spreading
Use jimmies sprinkles (not nonpareils) to prevent color bleeding
Scoop about 2 tablespoons per cookie for even baking
Bake until edges are set and centers look slightly soft - don’t wait for browning
Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before moving to a rack
