So, let's jump into the recipe's details and all the decorating possibilities so you too can spread some cheer with these tasty, tender Funfetti cookie treats!
Funfetti Cake Mix Cookies
Easy 3-Ingredient Cookie Recipe:
- 1 Box OfFunfetti Cake Mix – Any brand will do, thinkDuncan Hines,Betty Crocker, orPillsbury. Each box contains a little over 15 ounces of mix. You will notice Pillsbury is the only cake mix that uses the title Funfetti. Betty Crocker's version is called Rainbow Chip and Duncan Hines calls theirs Rainbow Confetti cake mix. Any version will work perfectly for this recipe.
- Vegetable Oil, 1/2 cup
- 2E g gs, beaten.
- (OPTIONAL ingredient, but highly recommended) White Chocolate Chips or Funfetti Chips, 1.5 cups – You can use any brand of course, but Ghirardelli's premium white baking chips are the best or check out Nestle Toll House Funfetti baking chips!
- (OPTIONAL ingredient) Sprinkles of any kind to coat the outside of the cookie. Whether your making these for Christmas, Birthday, Easter, or Valentine's Day you can adjust the sprinkle colors to fit that occasion.
- (OPTIONAL ingredient) Frosting of any kind tastes great on top of the cookie with a few sprinkles, and reminds me of moist Lofthouse cookies. FYI, Pillsbury has funfetti frosting in many colors like hot pink, purple, aqua blue and more!
Side Note: While adding frosting to the cookies tastes delicious, it does add to the sweetness factor. If you're not a fan of Christmas sugar cookies decorated with frosting, then you might want to hold off on adding this optional topping, especially if you added white baking chips to the cookie dough.

FAQs On Easy Funfetti Cake Mix Cookies
How Can I Get The Sprinkles On The Cookies To Look Like The Picture Above?
If you want your cookies to look evenly sprinkled, chill the dough for two hours, then roll the dough into balls (1.5 tablespoons of dough per ball). Next, roll the cookie dough balls into a bowl of sprinkles until they are covered. Lastly, place the sprinkled balls onto the baking sheet (2 inches apart) and into the oven for 11 to 12 minutes.
Does This Cake Mix Cookie Recipe Taste Good With Only 3 Ingredients?
Yes! These cookies taste delicious without extra sprinkles, white chocolate chips, or frosting.
Is Funfetti Cake Mix The Same As Rainbow Chip Or Bit?
They are essentially the same thing. Pillsbury calls their cake mix "Funfetti" while Betty Crocker named hers "Rainbow Chip" or some refer to it as Rainbow Bit. According to cake mix experts, the Pillsbury brand wins over Betty Crocker, while Duncan Hines "Confetti" cake mix takes the #1 spot for tasting the best.
What Is The Difference Between Funfetti and Confetti Cake Mix?
There is no difference other than the names. Pillsbury's Funfetti cake mix is quite popular as they own the trademark name. However, experts say Duncan Hines Confetti Cake mix tastes better.
But Does Funfetti Cake Taste Different As In Better?
According to Mashed, Pillsbury's Funfetti cake mix ranks higher than other brands, and FYI many cake brands have come up with their version of Funfetti cake. But as mentioned earlier, Duncan Hines Confetti Cake beat out Pillsbury, Betty Crocker, and many more for tasting addictively delicious.

They are perfect for Easter! Add some Easter Pastel-colored m&m's to the cookie dough (1.5 cups) instead of the optional white chocolate chips.
Should I Make Funfetti Cake Mix Cookies With Butter Or Oil?
While some Funfetti cookie recipes call for butter, I have found that using oil for this recipe makes a moister and chewier cookie.
What Is The Difference Between Funfetti and Vanilla Cake?
They are essentially the same thing, but Funfetti has the colored chips/sprinkles included in the mix. Add two tablespoons of sprinkles to a vanilla cake mix and follow this recipe's instructions for Funfetti cake mix cookies. It's that simple!
How Would I Store Funfetti Cookies?
These cookies will stay fresh in an airtight container for about one week. To ensure moist cookies toss in1/2 slice of bread (any kind) before sealing the container. The cookies will absorb the moisture from the bread, which keeps them nice and soft.
Do I Have To Chill The Dough?
You'll only need to chill the dough if you plan to form the cookie dough into balls to roll each one evenly into the sprinkles. Chilling the dough makes it manageable and less sticky.
Can I Freeze These Cookies?
Yes! Store them in an airtight container or vacuum seal the cookies for freshness. You can keep them in thefreezer for up tosix months as long as they are correctly stored.
Do I Need To Add Sprinkles To Funfetti Cookies?
It's unnecessary to add sprinkles, but they do add extra color and brightness!
Should I Put Sprinkles On These Cookies Before Or After Baking?
Add the sprinkles before baking the cookies for this particular recipe. Of course, if you're adding frosting to the baked cookies and want to add sprinkles on top of the fresh frosting, you should wait until after the cookies have baked.
