Funfetti Cake Mix Cookies is one of my all-time favourite cookie recipes ever, I just love the spring ‘Eastery’ look and the moist cake-like taste – and it’s easy because you use a boxed cake mix. This is one amazing cookie, guys, and there’s video instructions!
Funfetti Cake Mix Cookies
Earlier this week I warned you that I was busy in the kitchen over the past weekend – I’ve been posting recipes like a mad-woman with spring fever. Guilty!
This recipe calls for a cake-mix, delighting those that don’t have the time nor care for making a cookie from scratch. With just a few simple ingredients, making Funfetti Cake Mix Cookies is the definition of simple. I even made a very short video highlighting just how easy it is.
I made Funfetti Cake Mix Cookies for the sole purpose of welcoming a nice spring-like day, and for my readers that need an Eater-themed dessert – yet truthfully, it’s a cookie that can totally be made at any point in time and for any occasion. Even if it’s simply celebrating the fact that it’s Friday.
I seriously cannot get enough of these cookie, so make and enjoy time and again – this is sure to become a favourite of yours as it is mine!
Looking for more spring or Easter themed treats? May I suggest:
- Glazed Lemon Cookies
- Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Easter Eggs
- Chocolate Macaroon Nests
- Strawberry Chocolate Chip Cookies
- M&M Cookie Bars
- Strawberry Banana Mousse
- Vanilla Cream Bars

- 1 box Confetti Cake Mix
- 1/3 Cup Oil
- 2 Eggs
- 3-4 tbps Sprinkles {of choosing}
- 1 - 1/3 cup M&Ms
-
Preheat oven at 350º F.
-
In a large bowl, add dry cake mix, oil and eggs.
-
Stir with a spoon until combined.
-
Add the sprinkles to the cake batter and gently mix.
-
Add M&M's and gently mix.
-
Shape dough into 1″ balls and place them about 2″ apart on a parchment paper lined cookie sheet.
-
If you have more M&M's, stick a few in the top of the balls if you so wish - the more the merrier!
-
Bake for 6 to 7 minutes, but make sure you don't overcook so they don't dry out. I take them out just when I see an edge starting to brown.

Enjoy!

Nikki says
They look delicious! How many cookies does the recipe yield?
Elizabeth says
Making them now! I got about 20 cookies from one batch.
Shannon says
What kind of oil did you use?
Tammi says
I used vegetable oil this time.
Elizabeth says
Might have fixed it. I made them bigger and baked them longer – 11 minutes.
Either way, I love the idea. I will be taking the to work tomorrow as its my last day before the holiday. Might just play around with it in the future to make it my own. Thanks for the recipe!
heather says
do they come out more of a cakey texture or do they have a cookie heaviness to them?
Tammi says
They’ve be more of a moist and flaky cookie. they aren’t heavy at all.
Rebecca Clancy says
The batter seemed super dry before I was to add in the M&Ms so I did add a touch more coconut oil (this is what I always use when baking cookies and cakes) and then it seemed too oily. Very stiff batter, though. The cookies did not spread out much and took a lot longer than 7 minutes to cook. I eventually patted them flatter with a spatula and had to lift them up to see if the bottom was browning to tell when they were done. It’s possible that I may have baked them a little too long, but I didn’t see any browning along the edges as all. I was able to make 24 cookies out of the one box mix. They are cute and not bad, but I am just not a huge fan of cake mix cookies. I’m sure my co-workers will love them tomorrow, though!
E says
Hi my cake mix is similar but it calls for 3 eggs should I do 3 or the 2 you suggested thank you
Tammi says
If yours says 3, I’d first try three. I don’t think the extra would make a difference, but it could if it’s needed for that particular mix. 🙂
