Expert Tips

Because you are only blending the dry cake mix with a fraction of the liquid called for to mix up a cake batter, the leavening in the mix isn’t activated in the same way in the oven. This method just moistens the dry ingredients and creates a type of sugar cookie that is addictive. A quick swipe of frosting topped with a shower of colorful sprinkles will make this your new favorite sugar cookie.
Spreading the frosting onto the cookies while they’re warm makes it a little glazy—especially delicious when the cookies are still warm.
Use your favorite decorating sprinkles or nonpareils to make your own funfetti™! Stir in 1/4 cup sprinkles to 1 box of yellow or white cake mix and 1 to 2 tablespoons to a tub of vanilla ready-to-spread frosting.
Tender sugar cookies are done when the bottoms are evenly browned and the outer edges are a very light golden brown. Be careful to watch the baking time.
