Ingredients
Scale
Cookies
- 1 box white cake mix (about 15.25 oz)
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup Fruity Pebbles cereal
- 1/4 cup sprinkles (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it reaches the correct temperature for even baking.
- Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, add the white cake mix, vegetable oil, and eggs. Stir thoroughly until all ingredients are fully combined and form a smooth dough.
- Fold in Cereal and Sprinkles: Gently fold the Fruity Pebbles cereal and optional sprinkles into the cookie dough to distribute them evenly without crushing the cereal.
- Portion the Dough: Using a tablespoon, scoop portions of dough and place them about 2 inches apart on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. This spacing allows room for spreading during baking.
- Bake Cookies: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 8-10 minutes or until the edges of the cookies begin to turn a light golden brown.
- Cool the Cookies: Remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on it for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely, ensuring they firm up and maintain their texture.
Notes
- Do not overmix once the cereal is added to avoid crushing the Fruity Pebbles.
- Sprinkles are optional but add extra color and fun to the cookies.
- Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days for optimal freshness.
- For a gluten-free version, use a gluten-free white cake mix.
- Cookie dough can be refrigerated for up to 24 hours before baking to enhance flavor and prevent spreading.
