- 17 oz Yellow Cake Mix (Gluten-Free or Regular)
- 1 box Vanilla Pudding Mix
- 1/2 cup Butter softened
- 2 Eggs
- Festive Sprinkles
Preheat oven to 375 degrees
Combine the dry cake mix, dry vanilla pudding mix, butter and eggs in a stand mixer and mix well
Scoop dough with a mini cookie (ice cream) scoop and roll dough into 1" balls
Place sprinkles in separate bowl and roll cookie dough balls in them
Place balls on a silicone-mat-lined baking sheet and bake cookies for 8-10 minutes or until the cookies are lightly brown and still soft to the touch on top (I like them a little undercooked)
Remove cookies from the oven and let rest for 1-2 minutes before transferring to a wire rack
You can store these cookies in an airtight container for 4-5 days. Just be sure to allow the cookies to cool completely before storing them.
These cookies also freeze very well. I love to pull just one or two out of the freezer and have myself a merry little treat. They take only about 15 minutes to thaw on the counter.
