Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 box (15 1/4 ounces / 432 grams) white cake mix
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup (120 milliliters) vegetable oil
Flavoring and Enhancers:
- 1 teaspoon (5 milliliters) vanilla extract
Decorative Ingredient:
- 3/4 cup (135 grams) sprinkles, divided
Instructions
- Craft the perfect foundation by heating the oven to 350°F and lining a baking sheet with parchment paper, creating a non-stick surface for your festive treats.
- Blend the cake mix, eggs, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract in a large mixing bowl, whisking until the mixture transforms into a silky, uniform consistency. Incorporate a sprinkle of colorful confetti into the dough for an extra touch of whimsy.
- Utilize a cookie scoop or gently roll the dough into bite-sized spheres, each one a potential canvas of joy. Generously coat each dough ball in the remaining vibrant sprinkles, ensuring a festive exterior that promises crunch and color.
- Arrange the sprinkle-encrusted orbs on the prepared baking sheet, allowing ample breathing room between each cookie. Slide the sheet into the preheated oven, allowing the magic of heat to transform the raw dough into golden-edged delights.
- After 8-10 minutes, when the edges have achieved a delicate golden hue and the centers appear set, remove the cookies from the oven. Let them rest on the baking sheet for a brief moment to stabilize.
- Transfer the cookies to a wire rack, allowing them to cool completely and develop their final texture. Once cooled, these festive morsels can be savored immediately or preserved in an airtight container for up to three days of continued enjoyment.
Notes
- Customize sprinkle colors to match holiday themes or personal preferences for festive visual appeal.
- Swap vegetable oil with melted butter for richer, more indulgent cookie texture and deeper flavor profile.
- Transform recipe into gluten-free version by using gluten-free cake mix and ensuring all mix-ins are certified gluten-free.
- Reduce baking time by 1-2 minutes for softer, chewier cookies or extend by 2-3 minutes for crispier edges.
