Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 box of yellow cake mix (15.25 oz)
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup rainbow sprinkles (optional, for color and fun!)

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a large bowl, combine the cake mix, flour, and baking powder.
  • Add in the softened butter, egg, and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined.
  • Stir in the rainbow sprinkles if you’re using them.
  • Drop spoonfuls of dough (about 1 tablespoon each) onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  • Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
  • Remove from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • These cookies are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
  • You can swap out the yellow cake mix for any flavor you prefer (e.g., chocolate, funfetti, or red velvet).
  • For extra indulgence, add a sprinkle of coarse sea salt on top of the cookies before baking.
