Ingredients
Scale
- 1 box white or vanilla cake mix (15.25 oz)
- 2 large eggs
- ½ cup vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Gel food coloring (red, blue, yellow, green, or any choice)
- ¼ cup sprinkles (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Mix the dough: In a large bowl, combine cake mix, eggs, oil, and vanilla extract. Stir until a soft dough forms.
- Divide & color: Separate the dough into 4-5 bowls. Add different gel food coloring to each and mix until evenly colored.
- Shape the cookies: Take small portions of different colored dough, gently roll them together into a ball, and place them on the baking sheet.
- Bake: Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are set but the centers look slightly underbaked.
- Cool & enjoy: Let cookies cool for 5 minutes on the sheet before transferring to a wire rack.
Notes
- Do not overmix the dough; it keeps the cookies soft.
- Use gel food coloring for vibrant colors without affecting the dough texture.
- Store in an airtight container with a slice of bread to keep them soft.
