Ingredients
Scale
Cookie Dough
- 1 box white cake mix
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 2 large eggs
Mix-ins
- 1/2 cup Fruity Pebbles cereal
- 1/4 cup sprinkles (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it’s ready for baking the cookies.
- Mix Wet and Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the white cake mix, vegetable oil, and eggs. Stir thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and fully combined.
- Fold in Cereal and Sprinkles: Gently fold in the Fruity Pebbles cereal along with the sprinkles if using. Mix until the cereal and sprinkles are evenly distributed throughout the batter, being careful not to crush the cereal.
- Scoop Dough: Using a tablespoon, scoop portions of the dough and place them about 2 inches apart on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. This spacing allows the cookies to spread without sticking together.
- Bake Cookies: Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes or until the edges begin to turn a light golden brown, indicating they are cooked through but still soft inside.
- Cool Cookies: Remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on it for a few minutes. Then transfer the cookies to a wire rack to cool completely, which helps them set properly and maintain their texture.
Notes
- You can omit sprinkles for a simpler version or substitute with different colorful toppings to vary texture and flavor.
- For chewier cookies, slightly underbake by a minute and for crispier cookies, bake a minute longer.
- Ensure to space the cookie dough well on the baking sheet for even baking and shaping.
- Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days to maintain freshness.
