Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 box white cake mix (about 15.25 oz)
Wet Ingredients
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 2 large eggs
Add-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 reaches the right temperature for baking your cookies evenly.
- Mix Wet and Dry Ingredients. In a large mixing bowl, combine the entire box of white cake mix, 1/4 cup vegetable oil, and 2 large eggs. Stir with a spoon or spatula until the mixture is fully combined and smooth.
- Fold in Cereal and Sprinkles. Gently fold in 1/2 cup Fruity Pebbles cereal and 1/4 cup of sprinkles if using. Be careful not to overmix to preserve the cereal’s texture and vibrant colors.
- Scoop and Arrange Dough. Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, drop portions of dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Leave about 2 inches of space between each dough ball to allow for spreading.
- Bake Cookies. Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges turn golden brown, indicating they are done.
- Cool Cookies. Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. This helps set their shape and texture.
Notes
- For a gluten-free version, use a gluten-free white cake mix.
- Do not overbake; cookies should be soft and slightly chewy in the center.
- Sprinkles are optional but add fun color and texture.
- Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3-4 days.
- You can substitute the Fruity Pebbles with other colorful cereals like Trix or Frosted Flakes.
