Ingredients
1 box (15.25 oz) Funfetti cake mix
1 container (8 oz) whipped topping, thawed
1 large egg, recommended
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup white chocolate chips, optional
1/4 cup rainbow sprinkles, optional
Powdered sugar or vanilla glaze, optional topping
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
2. In a large bowl, combine Funfetti cake mix and thawed whipped topping.
3. Add the egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Mix until a soft sticky dough forms.
4. Fold in white chocolate chips or extra sprinkles if using.
5. Chill the dough for 20 to 30 minutes.
6. Scoop about 2 tablespoons of dough per cookie onto the prepared baking sheets. Leave 2 inches between cookies.
7. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, until the edges are set and the centers still look soft.
8. Cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes.
9. Transfer to a wire rack and cool completely.
10. Decorate with glaze, powdered sugar, or extra sprinkles if desired.
Notes
The dough will be sticky. This is normal.
Chilling the dough helps prevent spreading and creates thicker cookies.
Do not overbake. The cookies continue setting as they cool.
For a better crust and richer flavor, the egg, butter, and vanilla are strongly recommended.
Store cooled cookies in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
