We love to make all different kinds of cake mix cookies. They’re one of the easiest cookies to make and have an amazing soft texture. This funfetti version was an instant winner in my house and tastes so buttery and delicious.

These funfetti cookies are one of my kid’s all time favorite cookies! I prefer homemade sugar cookies, but they would pick these first. Which is fine by me, because they are super easy to make. All you need are 3 simple pantry staples to get started. They are honestly pretty hard to mess up too, which makes them the perfect cookies for your kids to make on their own.

The end result is a soft, chewy, buttery cookie with the classic cake batter flavor. My kids love to add rainbow jimmies in the dough to add a pop of color. They are so simple and perfect for any celebration! We love serving these with cake pops.

• Box of funfetti cake mix: Yes! It is that simple! You only need the box mix to use. It is similar to a flour or dry ingredients that will be used for these cookies.

How to Make Funfetti Cake Mix Cookies

These three-ingredient funfetti cookies are just what you need for a quick treat on a special day or just for fun! These are colorful and full of deliciousness in every bite. From kids to adults, everyone loves these funfetti cookies!

• Mix. Mix the ingredients together in a large bowl with an electric mixer.
• Chill the dough. Fold in the sprinkles if desired. Then chill the dough in the fridge for 15 to 20 minutes, so that it’s easier to work with.
• Scoop. Use a medium cookie scoop or spoon to scoop the dough into balls. Roll in extra sprinkles if desired. Then place on a parchment lined baking sheet.
• Bake. Bake at 350°F for 8 to 10 minutes in the oven. You want the cookies to be set, but not brown. Let cool on the pan for a few minutes, then move to a cooling rack to cool completely.

Decorations

You don’t need to add sprinkles, but of course, my kids always love to add some extra to the dough. You can also roll the dough in sprinkles like below to add more color. I prefer them plain without the extra sprinkles on top, but the pop of color sure does make them pretty.

If you’re making these cookies around the holidays, you can absolutely use holiday sprinkles instead of rainbow jimmies. It would be fun to make a Christmas or Valentine’s Day version.

Tips for Making Cake Mix Funfetti Sugar Cookies

Follow these tips to make these cake mix sugar cookies even better! Making sure that the dough is formed perfectly as well as the same shape is important when baking them. Use these helpful tips and ideas when baking homemade cookies!

• Vanilla: Add in a teaspoon of vanilla extract for a little extra flavor.
• Sprinkles: Change the sprinkles depending on the time of year and celebration you are having. We used rainbow sprinkles for this photoshoot.
• Roll dough: Use a cookie scooper to make 1-inch balls of cookie dough for baking. You will want your cookie dough in even amounts when baking to cook them all at once.
• Baking: Don’t over bake your sugar cookies! Slightly underbake the cookies in the oven and take them out of the oven as they are light golden color. They will finish baking on the baking sheet for 1 to 2 minutes. Use a metal spatula to remove and place on a wire rack.
• Frosting: If you love to frost your cookies, you are in luck! These sprinkle cookies frost great too. Try using this classic cream cheese frosting or marshmallow frosting.

Freezing Tips

This is the perfect way to always have cookie dough on hand. It is easy to do and always great to have ready for birthdays and celebrations.

• Frozen cookies: These cookies can easily be frozen if you have extras. Let them cool completely, then freeze them on a baking sheet for about 30 minutes. Once they are hard to touch, add them to a freezer container or bag and store them in the freezer for up to 3 months.
• Thawing cookies: To thaw, remove from freezer and let sit at room temperature for 2 hours before serving.
• Frozen cookie dough: Simply place the cookie dough balls on a baking sheet and freeze in the freezer. Once frozen, place in an airtight container or freezer bag.
• Baking frozen dough: When ready to bake, place frozen cookie dough in the over at 375 degrees Fahrenheit for 12 to 15 minutes or until they are a light golden brown on the bottom and edges.
