Ingredients

For the cookies

2 large eggs room temp
⅓ cup vegetable oil
1 16 oz box cake mix (white or confetti)
1 teaspoon baking powder
¼ cup confetti sprinkles

For the icing

6 Tablespoons butter room temp
4 ounces cream cheese room temp
1 cup powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
¼ cup confetti sprinkles
Food coloring of choice optional

Instructions

Heat the oven to 350° and line a cookie sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat. Spray with cooking spray.
In a large bowl, combine the eggs and vegetable oil. Stir in the cake mix and baking powder till combined.
Fold in the confetti sprinkles.
Use two tablespoons to make large cookies. Space the cookies out so they don’t touch as they bake.
Bake for 9 minutes and remove. Cool on the pan for 5 minutes, then place on a cooling rack till completely cooled.
While the cookies cool, make the icing. In a large bowl, beat the butter and cream cheese together, then beat in the powdered sugar and vanilla.
Place the icing in a ziplock bag and snip off a little bit of the corner. Start at the center of the cookie and go in a circle out. Add sprinkles to the top of the cookies.

Notes

To keep these nice and soft, don’t let these cookies brown in the oven. Remove at 8 to 9 minutes. No longer.

If you don’t want these cookies to spread much, refrigerate for 30 minutes to an hour before baking.

Fun tip: if your cookies aren’t round, as soon as they come out of the oven, grab a glass that is larger than the cookie. Place the cup upside down over the cookie and do a little swirl and you will have a more uniform round cookie.
