How to Make Valentine Confetti Cookies

These cookies are super easy to make and come together so quickly. It only takes a few simple steps and a few minutes. That’s all there is to it!

Step 1: Prep

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and line 2 cookie sheets with parchment paper. Bake 1 cookie sheet at a time or bake two, then bake the next batch separately.

Step 2: Combine the Dry Ingredients

Mix the cake mix and baking soda in a large bowl.

Step 3: Combine the Wet Ingredients

Combine the eggs, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract in another bowl.

Step 4: Make the Batter

Add the egg mixture to the cake mixture and beat with an electric mixer until combined. Then, add Valentine’s sprinkles and mix.

Step 5: Bake

Scoop out the dough with a small cookie scoop and place each ball on the prepared baking sheet, leaving an inch between each dough ball. Sprinkle with more Valentine’s sprinkles and bake for 8 to 9 minutes until the cookies begin to brown slightly.

Step 6: Cool

Remove the cookies and let them cool on the cookie sheet for 3 minutes. Then, transfer them to a cooling rack to cool completely. Then do this again with the next cookie sheet. Enjoy!

FAQ

What are cake mix cookies?

Cake mix cookies are cookies that are made primarily with cake mix rather than a flour mixture.

What is the texture of cake mix cookies?

Unsurprisingly, cake mix cookies have a cake-like texture. Although they aren’t crumbly like a cake, they do have a soft, chewy texture.

Why are my cookies too soft in the middle?

These cookies need to cool on the cookie sheet so carry-over cooking time can continue baking them to perfection. If you remove them too soon, the middle of your cookies will be underdone.
