Ingredients You’ll Need
1 box vegan funfetti cake mix (15.25-15.5 oz): This is the star of the recipe! It provides the base, flavor, and fun sprinkles. Look for brands that are clearly labeled vegan.
1/2 cup vegan butter, melted and cooled: Using vegan butter gives the cookies a rich flavor and soft texture. If you don’t have vegan butter, you can substitute with coconut oil, though it will slightly alter the taste.
1/4 cup nondairy milk (soy, oat, almond, etc.): Adding nondairy milk helps the cookie dough come together and keeps them moist. Choose a milk that complements the flavor, like almond or oat for a nuttier taste.
1/2 cup vegan mini chocolate chips (optional): These little indulgences add melty sweetness. You can skip them or replace with dairy-free chunks if you want more chocolatey goodness.
How to Make Easy Vegan Funfetti Cake Mix Cookies (Only 4 Ingredients!)
- Preheat your oven: Start by setting your oven to 350°F (175°C) to get it nice and hot for the cookies.
- Prepare the cookie dough: In a large mixing bowl, combine the 1 box of vegan funfetti cake mix, 1/2 cup of melted vegan butter, and 1/4 cup of nondairy milk. Stir until everything is well combined and the mixture forms a dough. If you’re feeling adventurous, fold in 1/2 cup of vegan mini chocolate chips for added deliciousness.
- Scoop your dough: Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, drop dough balls onto a lined baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches between each one. They’ll spread while baking!
- Bake the cookies: Pop the baking sheet in the oven and let the cookies bake for about 8-10 minutes or until the edges are just golden. They’ll be soft in the center, which is perfect!
- Cool down: Remove the cookies from the oven and let them sit on the baking sheet for a couple of minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Storing & Reheating
Once the cookies have cooled, you can store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. If you want to keep them fresher for longer, place them in the refrigerator, where they’ll last for about a week. For longer storage, consider freezing them in a freezer-safe container or bag for up to 3 months. To enjoy them again, simply reheat in the oven at 350°F for about 5 minutes. While they may lose a bit of that fresh-baked texture, a quick warm-up will bring back some of their glory!
Chef’s Helpful Tips
- Measure Your Ingredients Accurately: Baking is a science, so be precise with your measurements to ensure the best texture and taste.
- Don’t Overmix: Once the dough comes together, stop mixing! Overworking the dough can lead to tough cookies.
- Chill Your Dough for Extra Chewiness: If you have the time, chilling the dough for about 30 minutes can enhance the flavors and create a chewier texture.
- Customize Your Sprinkles: Feel free to swap out sprinkles for seasonal ones or even different chocolate chips for a new twist each time you make these cookies.
- Watch Them Closely: Since every oven is different, keep an eye on the cookies during the last few minutes of baking to prevent any overbaking.
These Easy Vegan Funfetti Cake Mix Cookies are not just easy; they’re also a fantastic way to share joy with loved ones. Their cheerful look and delightful taste will surely make anyone’s day a little brighter. Feel free to play with sprinkles and mix-ins, making them your own.
