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”! Try these cake mix cookies here also.
