These Halloween Cake Mix Sprinkle Cookies are a simple yet festive dessert that requires just a few pantry staples. By combining a box of white cake mix with orange sprinkles, oil, butter, and eggs, you create a flavorful dough that bakes up soft and golden. Once cooled, the cookies are dipped in vanilla frosting and decorated with green and purple sprinkles for a colorful, seasonal finish. This recipe is ideal for quick holiday baking and makes a delightful addition to any Halloween party spread.
Ingredients
Directions
- Heat your oven to 350°F and prepare a baking tray by lining it with parchment paper. Set it aside.
- In a large bowl, combine the cake mix with the orange sprinkles and stir until evenly distributed.
- Pour in the oil, melted butter, and eggs. Stir with a wooden spoon until the mixture forms a uniform dough. Avoid using an electric mixer or stirring too vigorously to prevent overmixing.
- Use a cookie scoop to portion the dough onto the prepared tray, spacing each mound about 1 ½ to 2 inches apart.
- Place the tray in the oven and bake for 10 to 12 minutes, watching closely until the edges just start to turn golden.
- Take the tray out of the oven and transfer the cookies to a wire rack to cool down completely.
- After the cookies have cooled, measure out ½ cup of vanilla frosting into a microwave-safe bowl. Warm it in 10-second bursts, stirring in between, until it is smooth and fully melted.
- Dip one side of each cookie into the melted frosting, then return them to the wire rack. Immediately add the green and purple sprinkles while the frosting is still wet.
