  • While the cookies cool, make the icing. In a large bowl, using a hand mixer, beat the butter and cream cheese together, then beat in the powdered sugar and vanilla. Mix in food coloring, if desired.

  • Place the icing in a Ziplock bag and snip off a little bit of the corner.
  • Start at the center of the cookie and go in a circle out. Add sprinkles to the top of the cookies.

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 8x8-inch baking pan and bake for 20-25 minutes, until the dough is cooked through. Frost as desired.
Storage: Store confetti cake cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, in the refrigerator for up to 5 days, or in the freezer for up to 1 month.
