Tips and Thoughts for This Recipe
Do not overmix the batter when making the cookies. These cookies are mixed by hand, do not use an electric mixer.
If you don’t have funfetti cake mix, you can use a box of white cake mix and add your own sprinkles.
These unique cookies are sweet and have a wonderful cakey consistency. You really taste the vanilla “cake batter” flavor!
