Ingredients
Scale
- 13.25 oz white cake mix box
- ½ cup unsalted butter (113 g), melted, slightly cooled
- 2 large eggs
- 5 tablespoons rainbow confetti sprinkles, plus more for rolling
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract, optional
- ¼ teaspoon almond extract, optional
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, mix the dry cake mix with melted butter and eggs, stirring until a thick dough forms.
- Gently fold in rainbow sprinkles, mixing carefully to avoid overworking the dough. It will be sticky.
- Allow the dough to rest for about 5 minutes, which helps it thicken as the cake mix absorbs moisture. It’s ready when it no longer sticks to your finger when pressed lightly.
- Use a medium cookie scoop to portion out the dough into balls.
- Roll each ball in additional sprinkles, ensuring they adhere all around.
- Place the dough balls on the baking sheet, spacing them about 3 inches apart. Bake for 10-12 minutes until the edges set and the center looks slightly underdone.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
Notes
For best results, ensure your butter is slightly cooled before mixing to prevent melting the dough too much.
Feel free to customize with different colored sprinkles to match any theme or celebration.
