Funfetti Sandwich Cookies

Who doesn't love Funfetti?


I have had the idea to make these cookies for quite some time. There is just something about Funfetti cake that kids and adults just love. I am sure there are some haters out there, but for the most part I think it is safe to say that Funfetti is a universal crowd pleaser and these cookies were no exception. I used the same basic idea and recipe that I used for my Lemon Sandwich Cookies, Creamsicle Sandwich Cookies, and Eggnog Sandwich cookies. I used leftover vanilla frosting to sandwich the cookies, but I think just about any frosting would go with them. You could even go with a can of Rainbow Chip Frosting to really make these easy. I rolled the edges in sprinkles for a little extra cuteness factor. I honestly have nothing bad to say about these cookies, they are inexpensive to make, easy, and delicious.

Funfetti Sandwich Cookies
recipe from Baked Perfection

makes approximately 24 sandwich cookies

1 (18.25) package Funfetti Cake
2 eggs
1/3 cup vegetable oil
2 tablespoons milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Pour cake mix into a large bowl. Stir in eggs, oil, milk, and vanilla until combined. Drop teaspoons of dough onto an ungreased cookie sheet. Bake 7-9 minutes in the preheated oven. The bottoms will be light brown. Move cookies to a cooling rack, cool completely before assembling.

Frost bottom side of half the cookies. Top with unfrosted cookie. Roll edges in assorted sprinkles.

Can these be made ahead of time (such as the day before)?

I just made this for a friend's party. They are much, much easier to transport than cupcakes!

I doubled the recipe, but probably only needed one and a half of the frosting recipe. I am a moderate-to-light frosting person, so ymmv.

I baked the cookies the night before and then frosted them the following morning. Super easy and I did not have to worry about the cookies not being cool enough.

Thanks for the great idea!
