Ingredients
Scale
Cookie Dough
- 1 box white cake mix (approximately 15.25 oz)
- 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 reaches the right temperature for baking the cookies evenly.
- Mix Wet and Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the white cake mix, vegetable oil, and eggs. Stir thoroughly until the batter is smooth and fully combined, ensuring no dry pockets remain.
- Fold in Mix-ins: Gently fold the Fruity Pebbles cereal and sprinkles into the batter. Mix just until the cereal and sprinkles are evenly distributed, taking care not to crush the cereal.
- Prepare Baking Sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Scoop out tablespoon-sized portions of dough and place them about 2 inches apart on the baking sheet to allow space for spreading during baking.
- Bake the Cookies: Bake in the preheated oven for 8–10 minutes or until the edges of the cookies begin to turn golden brown, indicating they are cooked through yet still soft inside.
- Cool Cookies: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes to firm up, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely before serving for better texture and handling.
Notes
- You can omit sprinkles if you prefer a less sweet or less colorful cookie.
- Make sure not to overbake to keep cookies soft and chewy.
- Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days for best freshness.
- For transport, consider placing parchment between layers to prevent sticking.
- Feel free to substitute vegetable oil with melted coconut oil or light olive oil for a different flavor profile.
