How to make confetti cookies
Time
- Prep: 15 min. + chilling
- Bake: 10 min./batch + cooling
Step 1
- In a large bowl, beat eggs, butter and vanilla until combined. Then beat in the cake mix. After combining all ingredients refrigerate, covered, for 2 hours or until firm enough to roll.
Step 2
- Preheat oven to 350°. On a well-floured surface, roll dough to 1/4-in. thickness. Cut with a floured 2-1/2-in. cookie cutter. Place 1 in. apart on an ungreased baking sheet. Bake 8-10 minutes or until set. Remove from pans to wire racks to cool completely. Decorate as desired with frosting or fun sprinkles! Don’t forget to clean up your kitchen countertops after all the fun is over to avoid leaving behind any crumbs or spills.
- Optional: If you have leftover dough or wish to only use half you can transfer the dough to a resealable plastic freezer bag and freeze. To use, thaw dough in the refrigerator until soft enough to roll. Prepare and bake cookies as directed and decorate as desired.
