Delicious! I made these for a friend. I used half a box of devils food and half gluten-free Funfetti. (This is what I had on hand.) I frosted them with chocolate cookie frosting. The next time I tried this, I used red velvet cake mix. It turned out perfect! Now, I am making this a third time for my choir.
mmm
Wet ingredients need to be cut back! I did use Eggbeaters (1/2 cup = 2 eggs) and exact amount of oil. Dough ended up soft and not at all workable. If I made these again, I’d use one egg (1/4 cup) and maybe start with 1/4 cup oil instead of 1/3.
I followed the directions and my ‘dough’ came out really gooey. (maybe refrigerate for an hour) I used an ice-cream scoop to throw into the powered sugar mixture and roll the ball around. Cooked for 10 minutes. Got 25 cookies that are just ok.
These turned out really delicious! I chilled the dough for 1hour before rolling into balls, omitted the powdered sugar and just rolled in sprinkles. Hint: lightly flour hands to roll balls.
My coworkers loved these! I started the batch using confectioner’s sugar and decided to nix it on the rest. They are so painfully sweet already, it’s just overkill. Topped with a few festive sprinkles instead.
Super easy
These were easy and good, just not on my yummy list.
These cookies are incredibly simple to make, and they tasted amazing! I didn’t add the sprinkles or powdered sugar, but it still has an amazing, slightly, cakey taste
Fun and ezy to make…rich cookies! I will keep the ingredients on hand for a quick cookie fix…smilie emoji
Quick and easy. We loved them
Didn’t make any changes and absolutely loved them. I lined my cookie tin with foil and wax paper, the cookies stayed soft. Will definitely make again, good with coffee or tea..
Easy to make, yummy to eat.
Easy and fun! I went exactly by the recipe and I have a cookie scoop which made this go even faster. The cookies are good, like eating birthday cake. Not the best cookie I’ve ever had …but just like birthday cake.
Really good and the birthday girl had fun helping me make them!
Used different type sprinkle on all the cookies including colored sugar . Turned out Super ;just adjust cooking time from 6 to 8 minutes !
easy, looks pretty, husband and I like. Used left over sugar mix on graham crackers.
Made these for my grandson. Easiest cookies ever! Start to clean up was about an hour. Baked them for 8 minutes in my oven which is gas.
The only change I made was to cook these cookies longer. 11 minutes per batch at 375. Too bad they only make 24. They’re delicious !
No
Super easy and so good! I rolled the bals in the sprinkles. They came out great! Note, ther are many cookies you can make using the basic cake mix eggs & oil recipe. Add the extras depending on what kind of cookie you are making.
