What’s in Confetti Cake Mix Cookies
I love a good cake mix recipe, especially when it’s dressed up this deliciously with simple pantry staples!
- Eggs: They’ll need to be room temperature.
- Vegetable Oil: You can swap with canola or coconut oil in a pinch.
- Confetti Cake Mix: You can use white, vanilla, or chocolate confetti cake mix instead of confetti cake mix.
- Baking Powder: Measure with care! This ingredient makes your cookies rise while baking.
- Rainbow Sprinkles: Any sprinkles you like the look of will work well here. If you really feel like showing off, you can dye your own sprinkles!
- Butter: You’ll need unsalted butter that’s been softened to room temperature.
- Cream Cheese: This will also need to be room temperature. You can use low fat, but I recommend using cream cheese with the full fat content for the best results.
- Powdered Sugar: This really shouldn’t be substituted with any other kind of sugar for the frosting!
- Vanilla Extract: Achieve the best flavor with all of your baked goods when you use homemade vanilla extract.
PRO TIP: If you don’t want these cookies to spread much, refrigerate the dough for 30-60 minutes before baking.
Can I change the colors?
YES! It’s so much fun to get creative with this Crumbl Cookie copycat recipe. Feel free to change up the sprinkles for different occasions and holidays. Try red and green for Christmas, black and orange for Halloween, or red and pink for Valentine’s Day.

Notes
- In place of the vegetable oil, you can use any neutral oil, such as canola or coconut, or try melted butter!
- You can use white, vanilla, or chocolate confetti cake mix instead of confetti cake mix.
- Feel free to change up the sprinkles for different occasions. Try red and green for Christmas, black and orange for Halloween, or red and pink for Valentine’s Day.
- You can also change up the frosting color with different food dyes, or leave it plain.
- Use a cookie scoop to ensure all of the cookies are the same size.
- To keep these nice and soft, don’t let these cookies brown in the oven. Remove at 8-9 minutes. No longer.
- If you don’t want these cookies to spread much, refrigerate the dough for 30-60 minutes before baking.
- If you need to bake the cookies in batches, I recommend letting the baking sheet cool between batches or using 2 baking sheets. This will prevent the cookies from spreading too much.
- If your cookies aren’t round, as soon as they come out of the oven, grab a glass that is larger than the cookie. Place the cup upside down over the cookie and do a little swirl and you will have a more uniform round cookie!
- To make cookie bars, press the cookie dough into an 8×8-inch baking pan and bake for 20-25 minutes, until the dough is cooked through. Frost as desired.
