Ingredients
Scale
Cookie Dough
- 1 box white cake mix
- 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 white cake mix, vegetable oil, and eggs. Stir the mixture thoroughly until it is completely combined and forms a smooth cookie dough.
- Add Cereal and Sprinkles: Gently fold the Fruity Pebbles cereal and optional sprinkles into the dough. Mix just until these colorful ingredients are evenly distributed to maintain their texture and crunch.
- Portion Dough: Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough using a spoon or cookie scoop. Place each portion on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow room for spreading.
- Bake Cookies: Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 8 to 10 minutes, or until you notice the edges beginning to turn a golden brown, indicating they are cooked through.
- Cool: Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the cookies cool for a few minutes on the sheet before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely to avoid breaking.
Notes
- If you want a softer cookie, try slightly underbaking by reducing the time by a minute.
- You can substitute the white cake mix with yellow or funfetti cake mix for a different flavor variation.
- To keep the crispiness of the Fruity Pebbles, fold them in gently and avoid mixing too aggressively.
- Store cookies in an airtight container for up to 5 days to maintain freshness.
- Optionally, add a pinch of salt to balance the sweetness if desired.
