Oh my heart!My oldest daughter Ava graduated preschool today! All day long I have been holding back tears y’all. how is it my baby girl is a kindergartner already? 
 
Ava attends part day school on the Army post here and is lucky enough to have not one, not two, but three amazing teachers! She will sure miss them! 
We brought them each a basket of these Funfetti Cookies as a thank you present. Ava was so happy to give them a gift that she helped bake. I love when she helps me in the kitchen!

I am a fan of using cake mix for cookie recipes and these easy Funfetti Cookies are a breeze with just 5 ingredients including a box of Funfetti Cake Mix! 
I also use Butter Vanilla Emulsion from LorAnn Oils.. I found these at Walmart and also add this flavor to my pancakes and waffles. 
You can never have too many sprinkles, right? The Funfetti cake mix had colored bits in it but I wanted more! I added 1/3 cup of rainbow sprinkles after mixing together the batter. . 
In a large mixing bowl add cake mix, eggs, vanilla, and oil. 
Beat on medium speed until smooth. 
Pour in sprinkles and fold in with a spatula.
Cover the dough and place in the fridge for at least 30 minutes {up to overnight}.
Remove from fridge and using a medium sized ice cream scoop form dough into medium size balls and place in rows on a lined baking sheet.
This is the perfect time to ask your kiddos to help! 
Baking and posin’! 
Bake for 10-12 minutes. They will still be soft and light colored. 
Remove from oven and let  cool on the cookie sheet before removing to a plate to serve or wrap up. 
These soft and sweet cookies are made with just 5 ingredients and could not be easier to make! 
I found this free cookie card here and tied it onto a colorful container.
I filled with tissue paper and cookies for Ava to give her school teachers for Teacher Appreciation Day. 
How can you pass up a cookie this fun and delicious?!

    This is such a yummy and thoughtful gift idea. I think it's so important to show our appreciation to our children's teachers and even more special when they get involved!
