Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 box French Vanilla Cake Mix I used Duncan Hines for a rich flavor
- 1 teaspoon baking powder for perfect rise

- 1/4 cup sprinkles or nonpareils for color and fun
Instructions
Baking Cake Mix Cookies
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line your baking sheets with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the cake mix and baking powder. Whisk them together until well combined.
- Add the lightly beaten eggs, vegetable oil, and pure vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Mix with a whisk or an electric mixer until the dough is smooth and fully combined.
- Gently fold in the sprinkles or nonpareils until they are evenly distributed throughout the cookie dough.
- Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets. Leave space between each cookie as they will spread while baking.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 10-12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers may look soft but will firm up as they cool.
- Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack. Enjoy warm or at room temperature!
Notes
- Try chilling the dough for 30 minutes before baking to prevent excessive spreading.
- Substitute vegetable oil with unsweetened applesauce for a lighter cookie.
- Freeze dough balls on a parchment-lined sheet before transferring to a bag for easy baking later.
- Add chocolate chips or nuts to customize your cookies.
- Store baked cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week or freeze for up to 3 months.
