    Sprinkle is excited to share with you our Simple, Easy, and Tasty Funfetti Cookies recipe. She has traveled for years and enjoyed food everywhere from Hawaii to Italy. Now she is the muse for The Kitchen Bucket List helping us developed and create our favorite dishes to bring to all of you.

    Creaming: mixing your butter and the sugar at the beginning will really help make your cookie softer and airier.

    Instructions

    NOTE: This recipe is for a 15.25 oz cake mix. So if you are using a 16.25 oz box, decrease your flour to ¾ cup.

    1.
    Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
    2.
    Line a baking sheet with a silicone mat or parchment paper. 
    3.
    In a mixing bowl, whisk together the cake mix and the flour.
    4.
    Add the chocolate chips and the sprinkles. Mix well until both are coated with the cake mix mixture. Set aside.

    Mix all the dry ingredients until they are coated with the cake mix mixture.
    Ingredients getting mixed in the bowl. You can see how they will get big and be fit for a dessert all by themselves.


    5.
    In another mixing bowl, cream together the butter and cane sugar. Mix for about 2 minutes with a hand mixer until nice and fluffy.
    6.
    Add the eggs, one at a time, then the vanilla extract. Mix well until all ingredients are incorporated.
    7.
    Slowly add the dry mixture, about ½ cup at a time. Mix until there are no more dry ingredients. Do not overmix.

    Double-Scoop Technique

    Medium-scoop full of dough. The double-scoop technique is key for the perfectly crispy edge and a soft chewy center.
    Over head shot of the double-scoop technique with the raw cookie dough. You are going to devour these Funfetti Cookies. They have a perfectly crispy edge and a soft chewy center.

    NOTE: They are big cookies so use a medium cookie scoop (1 1/2 tablespoons). The double-scoop makes for a crispy golden edge and a soft tender center.

    8.
    Using a cookie scoop, scoop the dough into a ball onto the cookie sheet, leaving 1 ½ inch between each. They will spread.
    NOTE: If you are making the Double-Scoop cookies continue to step 9. If you prefer the Single-Scoop version, go to step 10.
    9.
    Scoop a second ball and place it on top and center of the first one. Press down like you want to “squish” the first ball. Then release the dough from the scoop.
    10.
    Bake, the Double-Scoop, in the preheated oven for 12 to 13 minutes. The edges will set and be slightly golden.
    Bake, Single-Scoop, for 8 to 9 minutes.
    11.
    Allow the cookies to cool off on the cookie sheet for 2-3 minutes then transfer them to a cooling rack.
    12.
    Funfetti Time, ENJOY!

    Substitutions

    Cane sugar can be substituted with granulated sugar. If you don’t have unbleached all-purpose flour, use bleached.

      Variations

      • The Single-Scoop – version is going to be like regular funfetti cookies with a crisp texture and soft middle. See the recipe card for the time difference.
      • Omit chocolate chips – Simply choose another flavor you prefer or leave out for more funfettiness.
      • Deluxe – add nuts, chop some cooking chocolate or your favorite chocolate bar, or even candied fruits.
      • Kid-Friendly – They are going to love these, so get them involved… especially with the squishing. It will be fun to see how precise they will be.

      Cookies love hanging out with…

      Eggnog is so easy in the Ninja Foodi with a smooth and light creamy texture. You can have this simple homemade eggnog right at your fingertips with just the right hint of vanilla. We prefer the homemade's lighter texture than the heavier store-bought. You can serve it hot or cold for a cup of Holiday Cheer with your favorite cookie. Of course, don't forget to add nutmeg for that Christmas pizazz. Yum!

      Ninja Foodi Eggnog is perfect for Santa’s little helpers. The Foodi’s low heat control gives a smooth, light, and creamy texture. It’s chilling in under 20 minutes.

      Looking for a new snack? One that is quick and easy but more importantly everyone will love. I found it, Air Fryer Chocolate Roasted Almonds. It only takes a few minutes to make, the right amount of sweetness, crunch, and the chocolate flavor will make you want to have more.

      Chocolate Roasted Almonds mixed and roasted in under 15 minutes. Now you just need to wait for these semi-sweet bites to cool off.

      Cinnamon Balls that are sweet and flaky made with biscuit dough are the perfect comfort food and a sweet treat. For breakfast or for desserts, these air fryer cinnamon balls only require a few ingredients and cook for only 5 minutes. Warm or cold, for breakfast or dessert, in one bite you can enjoy the flaky dough and sweet cinnamon crust.

      Cinnamon Balls quick, sweet, and flaky right out of the air fryer. Ideal for a fun breakfast or dessert.

      Mini cinnamon rolls made fresh, warm, and soft right at home in less than 1 hour. These easy air fryer mini cinnamon rolls with crescent dough are the perfect breakfast treat for everyone.

      • Focaccia from scratch baked in under 15-minutes in the Ninja Foodi. Can you imagine the light salty crust and airy crumb? It is like having the best French Fry you have ever had but it's bread. We could always find Focaccia straight out of the oven when we lived back in Italy. Actually, we lived in Liguria where it originated. One thing I love was how easy it was to always find it fresh at the local bakery or I should say Focacciaria. Everyone needs to experience this Italian treat in their own home without jetlag. Focaccia in the Ninja Foodi is from-scratch with a crisp crust, tender and airy crumb. Even better this focaccia is done in under an hour…half of that time is just proofing. So, now it is my turn to share with you.
