How to make cookies out of cake mix
To make these funfetti cake cookies, start by preheating your oven to 350 degrees.
Add cake mix, eggs, oil to a large bowl and mix to combine.
Add the sprinkles and mix until the ingredients are incorporated.
Drop rounded tablespoons of the cake batter cookies dough a few inches apart on a parchment lined baking sheet.
Bake the cake box cookies for 10-12 minutes in a 350 degree oven. The cookies will be soft when they come out of the oven, but as they cool, they will become more firm.
A few minutes after they come out of the oven you can move the confetti cookies with cake mix to a cooling rack to cool.

Make meal planning easy
I am a big fan of Eat At Home Meal Plans. Are you stressed about the cost of eating out or trying to decide what to make for dinner each night? Sign up for the plans, and get access to 4 separate meal plans each month (Traditional, Wholesome Traditional, Slow Cooker, and No Flour/No Sugar). Just print the plans, color-coded grocery lists, and recipes you want for the month. Don’t worry, there are so many options, even picky eaters will find something they like.
When it is time for dinner, make that night’s recipe (choices include make-ahead, freezer meals, slow-cooker recipes, and other time-saving strategies) and you are all set.
I know you have more important things to do than meal planning. Let someone else do it for you with Eat At Home Meal Plans. Monthly, quarterly and annual plans are available.
