Birthday Cake Cookies
If you are looking for an easy and festive dessert, you’re going to love my Funfetti Cake Mix Cookies. Perfect for a birthday party or a celebration, anyone can make these!
The thing about cake mix cookies is that you have an easy base to begin with. There is less measuring and fewer ingredients, so you can get them into the oven faster.
These particular funfetti cookies are soft and rich with some crunch from the ball sprinkles. I have a particular fondness for that crunch, so I like to add as many ball sprinkles as I can.
If you are serving these for a birthday party or a festive occasion, consider pouring out glasses of milk and lining the top with sprinkles. It is an easy way to dress up a table.
To line a glass with sprinkles, pour some ball sprinkles on a plate. You do need something to make the “glue” in order to hold the sprinkles onto the glass, so I like to use honey. It is sticky, edible, and will sit there holding your sprinkles if you add a small layer to the rim of he glass.
Use a spoon to add a bit of honey all the way around the rim of a glass. Once it is coated, dip the top of the glass into the ball sprinkles you’ve poured onto the plate. Make sure that you get a bunch of sprinkles sticking to the rim and lift it back up. Do this for as many glasses as you have!

Funfetti Cookies Recipe
Ingredients:
1 box white cake mix
2 eggs
1/3 cup vegetable oil
1 tablespoon vanilla
1 teaspoon baking powder
6 tablespoons long colorful sprinkles
1 cup chocolate chips
6 tablespoons little colorful ball sprinkles
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees and place a piece of parchment paper onto a large baking sheet. Place your ball sprinkles into a small bowl and set them aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine your cake mix, eggs, oil, vanilla, baking powder, and long sprinkles. Mix them together with a hand mixer.
Add in your chocolate chips and fold them into your batter with a spatula. You don’t want to incorporate these in with the mixer so that you don’t break up the chocolate too much.
Using a tablespoon, scoop out your dough and roll it into a ball. Dip the top of each of your dough balls into the ball sprinkles that you set aside earlier.
Place each of the cookie balls onto the parchment paper lined baking sheet, with the ball sprinkles facing up.
Bake your cookies for 10 minutes. Right when you take them out from the oven, use a large glass and press the cookie down gently to help them flatten the rest of the way.
Allow them to cool and enjoy!
