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. .
