Funfetti Cookies

Funfetti Cookies are colorful, festive treats made by mixing cake mix dough with rainbow nonpareils, then baking into thin, soft cookies. The dough is prepared using a box of Funfetti cake mix with added baking powder, eggs, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract. Rolling the dough balls in nonpareils adds extra bright color and a slight crunch on the outside, while the pressing shape creates thin, tender cookies.
