These Vegan Funfetti Cake Mix Cookies are a game-changer for busy bakers. Using just a few pantry staples, you get soft, pillowy cookies that taste exactly like a birthday cake!
1 box (~15.5 oz [439 g]) vegan funfetti cake mix
1/3 cup (80 g) vegan butter, melted and cooled (or vegetable oil)
1/4 cup (60 ml) nondairy milk
2/3 cup (113 g) vegan mini chocolate chips (optional)
1. Preheat the oven to 350°F and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
2. In a large mixing bowl, add the cake mix, butter, and milk. Mix to combine – a thick dough will form.
3. Stir in the chocolate chips, if using.
4. Scoop out ~1.5 tbsp (25 g) pieces of dough and roll into balls. Place on the prepared baking sheets, leaving room in between for spreading.
5. Bake for 9-11 minutes, until puffy and lightly golden-brown. Allow to cool on baking sheets, then enjoy!
If you don’t allow the butter to cool, your cookies will spread a lot on the baking sheets.
Check your cake mix ingredients to ensure it is vegan (many standard brands like Duncan Hines are ‘accidentally’ vegan).
