Today’s post is dedicated to all my fellow sprinkle lovers out there. By one confetti cookie, we unite. 
I made you a cake mix cookie. Yes. These cookies began with a box of cake mix.
I have a love/hate relationship with cake mix. LOVE it when I’m making cake batter flavored desserts. HATE it because it is just *not* the same as making something homemade from scratch. Not a fan of cake mix? Make my Cake Batter Sugar Cookies or my Soft-Baked Funfetti Cookies (both no cake mix!) instead of today’s cookie recipe. 
Moving along…
The other day I caved and wanted a puffy, fluffy, crinkly-topped, sprinkle overloaded cookie. I actually want those everyday. But stick with me here.
Staring back at me was a box of white cake mix I recently purchased on sale in my Target shopping binge. Cake Batter Blondies were intended to be my cake mix’s destiny but oy. Let’s be a little different here, Sally.
A little Cake Batter Chocolate Chip Cookie inspiration, a little Devil’s Food Chocolate Cake Mix Cookie inspiration, and my love for *all-things-cookies* all came together one day. A miraculously soft confetti cake batter cookie is born.
Today’s cookie recipe may be the easiest cookie you’ll ever make. For the result you’ll get, you’ll literally ask yourself HOW on earth a cookie this good can start from a box. Well, it does. The dough comes together easily by hand. No mixer required – no extra dishes dirtied. Hallelujah. All you’ll need is a bit of elbow grease to mix up the cake mix, eggs, oil, baking powder, vanilla, and sprinkles.
There is also no dough-chilling required. I chill my dough for nearly every single cookie I bake. It allows the flavors to get a little friendly with one another and baking cookies with cold dough allows them to bake up thicker. However, you can bypass all that and stick these cake mix cookies right into the oven! A simple ingredient list and a simple baking process. Winner, winner, cookies for dinner.
The dough is quite dense and thick; you’ll really need to work it to get rid of all the lumps of dry cake mix. You could try sifting the baking powder and cake mix together, but there’s really no need to take that extra step because you can get all the clumps out by mixing. Why give yourself more work?
If you’d like to “heathify” today’s cookies, you could easily sub the oil for greek yogurt or light sour cream. Before I had a blog, I mixed chocolate cake mix with 1/3 cup vanilla greek yogurt (and the rest of the ingredients below) and had one fudgy “light” cookie. Deeee-lish.
Texture wise, these cookies are soft and light. While they come from cake mix, they are not cakey in the slightest. They are soft in the center, but very chewy around the edges. Moist, melting in your mouth – no dry crumbs in sight. They retain a soft-baked consistency I admire so much in cookies.
I adore how thick and puffy they turned out. Little puffy funfetti pillows, if you will. As they bake, the cookies spread to an extent – and then, they just rise. Rise, rise, rise. The baking powder is the culprit behind all that lift. Be sure to roll your balls of dough to be “taller” rather than wide. I talked about the “tall” trick here. If thick cookies are your goal, make sure you don’t miss that!
Quick, easy, painless cookie recipes delivering HIGH results are all I’m looking for this holiday season. Mixed with a little oil, sprinkles, 2 eggs, baking powder and vanilla, white cake mix will be the base of your new favorite cookie. Coming from a cookie snob and very tough cookie critic, that says a lot.
Happy baking, sprinkle friends.

makes 28-30 cookies
Ingredients
- 1 box (18.25 oz) vanilla/white cake mix (like Duncan Hines)
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 2 large eggs
- 1/3 cup vegetable/canola oil or melted coconut oil
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup sprinkles
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F. Line large baking sheet with parchment paper or silicone baking mat. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, mix together the cake mix and baking powder. Set aside. In a smaller bowl, whisk together the eggs, oil, and vanilla by hand. Add the egg mixture to the cake mixture and stir to form a dough- stir vigorously until all of the pockets of dry cake mix are gone. Gently mix in the sprinkles - you do not want to dye the cookie dough by overstirring the sprinkles.
- Drop rounded 1-inch balls of dough onto prepared baking sheet. Make sure the balls of dough are taller than they are wide. See here for more details.
- Bake for 9 minutes - do not let the cookies get brown. Allow to cool on baking sheet for 3 minutes; they will be very soft at first. As they cool, the tops will settle down so you will not have to press the cookies down yourself. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Store in an airtight container, for up to one week.

I adore all of your cake batter recipes because cake batter is a hugee favorite of mine! Can’t wait to add this recipe to my holiday baking list! Do you think you’re going to have some more holiday baking posts come out soon?
Hi Paige! So sweet of you to comment – yes, I have plenty of holiday recipes coming up! And have posted quite a few already. Have you seen my Candy Cane Fudge? Hope you enjoy.

Great looking cookies and we’re in each other’s heads again…tonite, I was re-stalking every single funfetti/white/sprinkles-based cookie I could find on lots of different blogs and sites as we’ve chatted about and almost pulled the trigger on making them but was so pressed for time I didn’t b/c I couldn’t decide on WHICH recipe to make. Yours look great – love the festive and fun colors!
Averie @ Averie Cooks recently posted..Cranberry Pineapple Mango Preserves
I know soft funfetti cookies have been on your radar for some time now and I can’t wait to see what you come up with when you get around to them. I am happy to chat sugar cookies with you any time!
These are impossibly adorable! I completely understand what you mean about cake mix; brilliant for some things at some times, but homemade will always kind of win out. While I’m usually only slightly in love with sprinkles, I fall head over heels in love with themed holiday sprinkles. This is the perfect recipe to help me use up the huge jar of Christmas sprinkles in my cupboard, can’t wait to try it!
Emilia recently posted..Venice in the Offseason: How to Enjoy the Tourist City
Hi Emilia!! I’m glad you are with me on the whole cake mix ordeal. I prefer homemade goodies over using a box mix any day. But can you beat this thickness, recipe ease, all that puff, and softness? I think not! Cake mix cookies are fun every now and then.
Let me know how they turn out!
Cookies for dinner, yes!! These look terrific, I love the overload of sprinkles going on! I hear you on preferring ‘from scratch’ cookies over boxed, but Funfetti is the *one* exception!
Liz (Little Bitty Bakes) recently posted..Ginger Spiced Chocolate Chip Mini Muffins
you know me and my sprinkles Liz!! homemade cookies are preferable indeed but every now and then I like to break out the duncan hines
These are adorable Sally! I don’t use cake mix very often, but when I do, it’s rarely for cake!!! I made some sugar cookie bars this week with sprinkles! I thought of you as I was editing photos yesterday!!! Hope you’re having a great week
Aimee @ ShugarySweets recently posted..Peppermint Krispie Treats and $50 Pick Your Plum Giveaway
Thank you miss aimee! cake mix usually isn’t my go-to ingredient either, but for a fun twist on cookies, I knew my coworkers would love something like this. plus i had a box of white cake mix staring at me.
You are so sweet to thnk of me when you see sprinkles!!! I think of you when i see perfectly frosted cupcakes 
I LOVE cake mix cookies! They’re one of my fav go-to recipes if I don’t have a ton of time. I’ve made so many variations over the years….it’s easy to be creative with them! And yours look simply perfect for the holidays. A little bite of heaven in each cookie!
Colleen @ What’s Baking in the Barbershop?! recently posted..Creamy Carrot Potato Soup
i’ve only made two cake mix cookie recipes in my life. while i adore from-scratch cookies, i think cake mix cookies are a nice change up! plus they are SO soft, thick, and easy
Thanks Colleen!
I’m right there with you…I try to avoid using cake mix because it just isn’t the same as homemade. BUT sometimes that’s ok, especially when the results yield little funfetti pillows. And with how crazy this time of year is, I think perfectly to “cheat” every once in a while. Think I’ll keep these in mind and try them with greek yogurt mixed in!
Elaine @ Cooking to Perfection recently posted..Grammy’s Creamy Cheesecake
how could anyone resist funfetti pillows? cake mix in cookies… totally work it! let me know how they go w/ greek yogurt Elaine my dear!
these look awesome sally! by the way, i’m glad you went back to having your full post visible in google reader. i save recipes there, and tend to actually make recipes that i can see the whole post there without having to click through in the decision making process. does that make sense? so i just wanted to say i like that you went back!

A whole CUP of sprinkles??? SQUEEEEEEEL!!!! I know I tell you that pretty much everything is my “favorite thing”, but for real, I think sprinkles actually are!

let’s meet up one day and each eat a cup of sprinkles one day. I’m down! thanks Ari, your comments always make me smile!
Love these cookies, Sally! They look so light and fluffy! And you know I’m all about the sprinkles, right?

my dearest chung-ah! thank you for the pin and the tweet. you are SO sweet.
I am in love with cookies of any kind and sprinkles just make them divine! I am in the midst of baking a batch of shortbread now with sprinkles in them! So fun and festive!
Chandra@The Plaid and Paisley Kitchen recently posted..Amaretto Fluff Dip
Hi Chandra! sprinkles are cookies’ most happy ingredient and i love LOVE love adding them to a cookie dough! sprinkles in shortbread? i like your style!
I recently found your blog and love all the sweet treats! For the cake batter recipes, do we need to use cake mixes that use eggs?
Hi Kate! I am not aware of any cake mixes that do not call for eggs? But yes, I would stick to the mixes that call for eggs in this recipe. Thank you!
SPRINKLES!! I have a crazy, borderline unhealthy, obsession with sprinkles. They seriously make anything taste amazing. I love the holiday theme these cookies have
Becky, we must be twins or something. Because sprinkles are practically at the bottom of my food pyramid. LOVE them!
Ooooh!! Holiday sprinkles!! Love the ease of these cookies. I think you just convinced me to buy cake mix just so I can try these.
Anna @ Crunchy Creamy Sweet recently posted..Peppermint Bark
anna! you would love these cookies, i promise promise you! esp if you’re a fan of sprinkles like I am.
I just started making the Funfetti cake batter cookies and my husband loves them! My only complaint is that my recipe only makes about 2 dozen cookies (I know, they’re mega-cookies, but still!).
They’re so tasty and I like to make a batch of frosting and pipe that on them too for extra gooey-ness!
Your version with the gorgeous sprinkles looks scrumptious! I will be trying them soon!
frosting them! love that idea. maybe a sweet vanilla buttercream on top with more sprinles.
Let me know how they turn out Val! And maybe you need to double the recipe next time!
Yummy yummy! You know me and my love of cake mix
these are right up my alley, miss Sally! Extra sprinkles, too — you know me too well!! I love that you added baking powder to give these soft, puffy cookies a little extra oomph when they’re rising.. makes them like little sprinkly pillows!
i knew you’d love these hayley!! sprinkle pillows, yes and yes! thanks girl
Yay, sprinkle fans unite. The world is so much a better place with sprinkles everywhere! I too have a love/hate relationship with box mixes, I prefer to make from scratch as they’re ridiculously expensive here. Or too cheap that they’re not worth buying.
I love how deliciously moist they look and yet they’re puffed to perfection. And the choice of sprinkle colours is perfecto too. Yumo.
Lisa {Sweet 2 Eat Baking} recently posted..Dark and White Chocolate Mousse Parfait
thanks lisa! i’m on the fence about cake mix all the time as well. but i just went with it.
and i overloaded them with sprinkles.. obviously!
So pretty
I spend a long time in the baking aisle looking at all the sparkly cake adornments going ‘ooo, look!’ These look so Christmassy and lovely 
i could get spend hours and hours in the baking aisle. SO many pretty things, I want to grab it all! it’s hard to contain myself at the store.
Breaking out the Christmas sprinkles, I see!!! Love it!

I have never used cake mix in cookies, but have always wanted to try! I think you are going to earn your right as one of Santa’s elves this year Sally, these are adorable!

My collection of holiday sprinkles keeps growing! Must make more confetti cake batter cookies then, right?!
Thanks Elizabeth!
So cute! I’d love to try these with different cake mix flavors and sprinkle colors…like strawberry cake for Easter/spring? Or lemon or orange!!
Thanks!
Hey Caley! Your suggestion to use lemon cake mix – i LOVE that idea! I love lemon flavored desserts, like lemon bars or lemon meringue pie. A lemon cake mix cookie (maybe with some yellow sprinkles of course) sounds amazing.
I am all about cake mixes, especially for cookies and bars. I love how many sprinkles these have…and how puffy they are!!!
Jocelyn @BruCrew Life recently posted..Salted Caramel Pretzel Bark and $50 Pick Your Plum Giveaway
I’m going to have to try your ‘tall’ cookie next time because I can’t seem to roll a good ball of dough to save my life. Although once they come out of the oven you forget about all that….
Love the sprinkles!
Loretta | A Finn In The Kitchen recently posted..Apple Pear Hand Pies (For Ev, Part I)
Hi Loretta! The tall cookie trick works wonders, let me know how it goes for you.
Sally, you have me craving a these sprinkle cookies loaded with tons of festive sprinkles. They look amazing, and I love that they’re so simple to make.
Jennie @themessybakerblog recently posted..Sponsor Spotlight~ The Girl in the Little Red Kitchen
They’re so puffy! Love it. I’d be so fun to see your sprinkle collection. You’d have to be careful with me around it, though. “Oh, don’t mind me… just taking a tablespoon of EVERY type.”
Your posts always make me smile. Especially when you do the different colored font thing. I giggle and then smile.
Erin @ Texanerin Baking recently posted..Grain- and Gluten-Free Fresh Mint Double Chocolate Cookies

Hey Sally,
I have a quick question. Do you think that there are merits to using yellow cake mix preferred to white/vanilla in this recipe? Thanks a mill!
there is NO different whatsoever, just the color! I wanted the cokies to be light and white-toned. But yellow cake mix will work just fine! Thanks Lily and I love your name!
Yes, I used parchment paper.
I started my Christmas cooking baking season with these and they were delicious! I love cake batter and simple cookie recipes. Thank you so much for this recipe. The salted caramel chocolate chip cookies are next on my list!
hi Kate! Thank you for letting me know – I made these cookies again and brought them into work the other day. Everyone LOVED them. I’m happy they are so easy to make. Those salted caramel cookies – you are in for a tasty treat! I love those.
These look so great! I have an ugly Christmas sweater party I’m going to tomorrow night and will be bringing them with me. One question–I picked up some Funfetti cake mix, which comes with a little packet of sprinkles…do you think I could use that packet and some red/green sugar crystals as the 1 cup of sprinkles? I don’t have any other holiday-colored sprinkles and won’t have time to run out to the store again. I think the sugar crystals might make the cookies oddly colored but my friends might actually like that because they’re pretty odd themselves.
I love ugly Christmas sweater parties! I went to one last year – with a GIANT terrible red sweater on. Everyone looked ridiculous. You can use the sprinkle packet that comes along with a funfetti cake mix. The sugar crystals may dye the dough, yes. You could always roll the balls of dough into the red/green sugar crystals before baking – a gentle roll wouldn’t dye the dough. I laughed for a good 30 seconds reading that last sentence – my friends (and I) are odd too. lol! Let me know how they turn out! Have fun at the party!
If I use Greek yogurt instead of the oil, do I use plain or vanilla? Also is fat free Greek yogurt okay to use or is lowfat better?
Thanks.
Low-fat greek yogurt would be a better subsitute for the oil – use vanilla or plain, it does not matter. I feel vanilla would taste better though.
I completely love cake batter items!
Susan – SAME HERE!!
Tasty as heck, but mine baked up flat. Womp womp. I totally made them taller than wider. Let’s blame my stupid studio-apartment oven. I’m going to try them again in my mom’s fancy kitchen!
oh no! I’ve never had these turn out flat – I’m going to agree that it could have been the oven. OR maybe you overmixed them? Regardless, try them again in your mother’s oven and let me know how they turn out! Thanks Sue!
Winner, winner!! We like cookies for dinner! You should enter these cookies in our Holiday Baking Contest!! Gift cards to the winners!
Intriguing! I will have to check that out, thank you!
Any ideas on how to handle the stickiness of the dough? I couldn’t really get them into balls!
Strange! The dough was sticky, but still manageable. I suggest chilling it for 30-60 minutes beforehand in your case.
How many ounces in the cakemix box? Betty Crocker’s are 15.25 and Duncan Hines is a little more. Does it make a difference in the recipe?
Linda recently posted..7
Hi Linda – I used Duncan Hines cake mix for these cookies. I’ve used betty crocker for a chocolate version before as well – I didn’t notice much of a difference except this cookie was a bit thicker. Thanks for catching that!
I am baking this right now for a holiday cookie exchange tomorrow…super excited!
Hi Bri! You will love these! Let me know how they turn out
Sally, I’ve made these cookies twice already and both times the people I shared them with raved they were the best cookies they had ever had! Thank you for your willingness to share as I also adore baking! Happy Holidays!
Thank you Abby! That is so nice to hear. I love these cookies too and I can’t wait to make them for other holidays with festive sprinkles. Happy Holidays!
Ill admit I’m a big fan of the 3 ingrediant cake box cookies, so I decided to run with this slightly fancier version. I purchased a huge container of holiday sprinkles that managed to get lost, so I added a cup of chopped pecans, nutmeg and cinnamon to your recipe in lue of the sprinkles. They turned out so fabulous. Definitely love your recipes and will make these again with sprinkles when they turn up! Thank you!
Wow Beth – your version sounds incredible! I don’t think I would be more pleasantly surprised losing sprinkles. I wonderful substitution; I have to try something like that! Thanks so much Beth and glad you enjoyed them!
Made these tonight!! They came out awesome! So festive, too

Easiest cookies I have ever made! Recipe is perfect for a quick batch of cookies. I ended up with about 33 cookies and I plan on making more this weekend!
Woohoo! I’m baking them tonight for a holiday work party Becky! So glad you enjoy them AND are going to bake them for a 2nd time. You are right – these are SO easy!
Great recipe and so easy to make!
Hi Joan! Thanks, I’m so happy you enjoyed these cookies as much as I do! I love how easy/quick they are as well. Save time this holiday season!
I’ve tried these cookies twice, but they don’t stay puffy like yours. Mine just plain flatten out. Do you know what I might be doing wrong? Yours look amazing and mine are good, but I think they’d taste better if I could get them to look like yours.
I use Duncan Hines white cake mix and I follow all the steps. Please help. Thanks!
Jamie Lamar recently posted..easy homemade funfetti cupcakes.
Hi Jamie – so sorry to hear that. Is your baking powder up to date? Baking powder loses its effectiveness after 6 months. Did you overmix the batter/dough by accident? Overmeasure the oil? Do you have an oven thermometer to check the oven’s temperature is accurate? Just trying to brainstorm ways to fix it for you. Thank you!
Thanks for the tips, I plan to try this but have noticed that cake box sizes have shrunk and are now arounf 15 oz vs. 18 that they use to be. Should I make any adjustments to the other ingredients in order to compensate for the new smaller sized boxes?
Hi April – Duncan Hines is 18 oz. That is the brand I used.
Actually, after typing all that, I answered my own question. Apparently, I should have checked the date on my eggs :s I don’t eat eggs myself, only use them for cooking/baking. Fresh eggs made a big difference in preparation and presentation! Love this recipe for a quick easy cookie, although I also prefer “homemade.” Thanks!
Yes indeed they do make a difference! glad they turned out for you Michel. I linked my homemade version quite a few times in the post as well: http://sallysbakingaddiction.com/2012/08/16/cake-batter-sugar-cookies/
Yes I saw. I didn’t mind using this recipe since it was holiday themed. Thanks anyways.
I love the colors of the sprinkles you used. Where can I find them? thanks.
Hi Beth! I found the holiday colored sprinkles at Target. I know they are also sold at Walmart, most grocery stores, and craft specialty stores like Michael’s or AC Moore.
My son and I made these last night, and we CANNOT stop eating them! They are completely delicious, and so easy to make with a preschooler. I can’t wait to share these with my mom and sister, but they’ll have to taste the next batch, because this one disappeared in under 24 hours!
Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Hi Holly! You are SO welcome! And thank YOU for letting me know how much you love them! I agree, they are SO easy to make and truly a perfect recipe to make with a little one. Or when you need an easy cookie recipe. Each time I’ve made these, they completely disappear.
So, mixing this right now and I said “oh my, that’s a lot of sprinkles!” Then I said- “what am I thinking?” Can’t wait to eat a few…
I mean is there EVER too many sprinkles? not on my website.
haha! Thanks Jen, I know you’re going to love them!
Sorry I didn’t post this earlier. I made these for christmas and everyone LOVED them!
Here’s my review

I saw someone share this recipe on tumblr, and it seems absolutely fabulous!
I’m going to go on an adventure and try this out with chocolate cake mix (although, still Duncan Hines) and add mini Reese’s peanut butter cups instead of sprinkles!
Hi June! Thank you so much – I’m glad you found my site and this cookie recipe. They are one of my very favorites. And so easy to make! Love the mini reese’s idea in a chocolate version! I must try that.
i made these with red velvet cake mix for valentine’s day and they came out fantastic. thanks for the recipe!
That’s such a great idea! I’ve never used red velvet cake mix before for cookies. Perfect for Valentine’s Day!
Sally, I have no idea what took me so long to make these cookies but I finally did. And they are awesome. Seriously amazing. And my fiancé loves them!! Great recipe. Thank yih so much!
Hey Rachel! Woo hoo!! So glad you made them. These are wonderful cookies not only because of their taste but because of their convenience!
Hi Sally,
Do you know if I can make these with a chocolate cake mix?
Hey Maddie! You sure can use a chocolate cake mix for these cookies.
I was super disappointed when I made your funfetti cupcakes for my sons birthday…they were horrible! They were not light or fluffy like you indicated they would be..they were heavy and tasted much more like a muffin than a cupcake. What could have gone wrong!?
Hi Lora! I’m so sorry to hear that. Are you referring to cupcakes or cookies? This post is for cookies. Do you think you measured the ingredients properly for the cupcakes? Also, a tough, hard cupcake is from overmixing.
I made these! They’re so easy and they tasted amazing. Although I didn’t put nearly as many sprinkles in, I really enjoyed these. Would definitely make again! (And again and again and again.)
Good! I’m happy you love them, Emily!
These look great! I am wondering if you ever bake without eggs. My daughter is allergic to eggs but loves cookies. I know she would love a treat like these!
Hi Erin – you may use an egg replacer for any of my recipes. Here is a helpful chart/article about using egg replacers in baking: http://chefinyou.com/egg-substitutes-cooking/
