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 together the dry cake mix, melted butter, eggs, and optional extracts until a thick dough forms.
- Gently fold in the rainbow sprinkles, being careful not to over-mix. The dough will be sticky.
- Let the dough rest uncovered for about 5 minutes to thicken slightly.
- Use a medium cookie scoop to portion out the dough onto the prepared baking sheets.
- Roll each portion in extra sprinkles, pressing them onto the dough to adhere.
- Place the dough balls on the baking sheets, spaced about 3 inches apart, and bake for 10-12 minutes.
- Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
Notes
For chewier cookies, do not overbake; they should look slightly underdone in the center.
You can substitute the almond extract with more vanilla if preferred.
Make sure to let the dough sit to firm up before portioning.
