Fun Confetti Cookies: Best 5-Ingredient Cake Mix Cookies


  • Author: ava_chapman
  • Total Time: 20 minutes
  • Yield: 12-15 cookies 1x

Description

These quick and easy Fun Confetti Cookies use just five ingredients, including a box of cake mix, to create soft, chewy, bakery-style cookies perfect for busy weeknights or last-minute treats.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 Box (15.25 oz / 432g) Yellow or White Cake Mix
  • 2 Large Eggs (room temperature)
  • 1/2 Cup (115g) Vegetable Oil or Melted Butter
  • 1/2 Cup (85g) Mini Chocolate Chips
  • 1/2 Cup (30g) Rainbow Sprinkles (jimmies)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk eggs and vegetable oil together vigorously for about 30 seconds until emulsified.
  3. Add the entire box of dry cake mix to the wet ingredients and stir until a cohesive dough forms with no dry patches.
  4. Gently fold in mini chocolate chips and rainbow sprinkles until evenly distributed.
  5. Scoop dough onto prepared baking sheets, leaving 2 inches of space between cookies. Aim for 12-15 cookies per batch.
  6. Bake for 9-11 minutes until edges are lightly golden but centers still look slightly soft.
  7. Let cookies sit on the hot pan for 5 minutes to set, then transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely.

Notes

Do not overbake; cookies continue to cook on the hot pan. For thicker cookies, chill dough for 30 minutes. If dough is too dry, add 1 tsp milk; if too sticky, add 1 tbsp cake mix. Room temperature eggs blend better. Use jimmies sprinkles as they hold shape better than nonpareils.
