Ingredients
Scale
Cookie Dough
- 1 box white cake mix
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 2 large eggs
- 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’s ready for baking the cookies evenly.
- Mix Wet and Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the white cake mix, vegetable oil, and eggs. Stir thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and fully incorporated, forming your cookie dough base.
- Add Cereal and Sprinkles: Gently fold in the Fruity Pebbles cereal and sprinkles, if using, ensuring the colorful cereal and sprinkles are evenly distributed throughout the dough without crushing the cereal too much.
- Shape Cookies: Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough using a spoon or cookie scoop, and place them about 2 inches apart on a parchment-lined baking sheet to allow room for spreading during baking.
- Bake Cookies: Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges of the cookies turn golden brown, indicating they are fully cooked and crisp on the edges.
- Cool Cookies: Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes to firm up, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely before serving to maintain their texture.
Notes
- For a gluten-free version, use a gluten-free white cake mix.
- Do not overbake to keep the cookies soft inside.
- Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
- Optional sprinkles add extra color and a festive touch.
- You can swap Fruity Pebbles for any other colorful crispy cereal if desired.
