Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 box white cake mix
- 1/2 cup Fruity Pebbles cereal
- 1/4 cup sprinkles (optional)
Wet Ingredients
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 2 large eggs
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it’s ready for baking the cookies.
- Mix Wet and Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the white cake mix, vegetable oil, and eggs. Stir thoroughly until the mixture is fully combined into a smooth cookie dough.
- Fold in Cereal and Sprinkles: Gently fold in the Fruity Pebbles cereal and sprinkles (if using) until they are evenly distributed throughout the dough without crushing the cereal too much.
- Scoop Cookie Dough: Using a tablespoon-sized scoop, drop portions of dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading during baking.
- Bake Cookies: Bake in the preheated oven for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the edges of the cookies turn a light golden brown, indicating they are done.
- Cool Cookies: Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes to firm up, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.
Notes
- For best results, avoid overmixing the batter after adding the Fruity Pebbles to preserve their crunchy texture.
- These cookies are best stored in an airtight container to maintain freshness and crunch.
- Feel free to customize with your favorite colorful sprinkles or a drizzle of melted white chocolate for extra sweetness.
- To make the cookies more festive, try adding rainbow-colored or holiday-themed sprinkles depending on the occasion.
