These Funfetti Cake Mix cookies will be the delight of the party or snacktime too. They start with a cake mix and add creamy butter and vanilla extract, then dipped in vanilla frosting with even more colorful sprinkles on top.
Don’t sprinkles just make everything better? Remember when you were younger and you saw the box of donuts? Which one did you want? The one with sprinkles of course! It’s like an invitation saying pick me, pick me!
That is why these cookies are so special. First, it starts with a box of cake mix, so there are fewer ingredients to play with. Then we add butter and vanilla extract which makes everything better and makes it tastes more like baked from scratch.
Then we dip in Vanilla frosting and then add even more sprinkles so they are more appealing and “Oh So Delicious”!

You can use a Vanilla Cake mix and add your own sprinkles or Jimmies.
Don’t overbake even if they don’t seem baked completely. Follow the time listed and make sure your oven is calibrated to the right temp. They continue baking a minute or two after you remove from the oven.
I prefer to store in a large ziplock bag in the refrigerator. They only take a minute or two to warm up after you remove them from the refrigerator.
Yes, you can freeze the cookie dough before you bake by scooping them into balls and freezing in a ziplock bag for up to two months. You can also freeze after baking by placing them in a container or ziplock bag.
