Funfetti Gooey Butter Cookies
Ok y’all.
Sometimes you just need a cookie to make you happy. Because sometimes it’s perfectly ok to eat your feelings.
I speak from personal experience.
Also, can we just talk about people who won’t eat cake mix for a quick second…Yep, I know you’re out there.
And really, I appreciate you. I really do.
But these cookies can’t be made without it.
If you want a cookie with sprinkles that doesn’t include cake mix check out these, or these these and these.
But today we’re getting down and dirty and making super yummy Gooey Butter Funfetti Cookies.
Because they can’t be Funfetti without cake mix. That’s a true fact. AND I made a short little video to show you just how easy they are!
Are you fully on board?
How to Make Funfetti Gooey Butter Cookies
I started with a box of Funfetti, Cream Cheese and some Challenge Butter…
Use that whole box of cake mix.
Oh, and I added some extra sprinkles into the dough to amp up the colorfullness. Yep, that’s a word.

Form the dough into balls and roll in powdered sugar…

Totally pretty and soft and squishy and yummy and perfect…

Hi! I’m Shelly and I’m an addict. Of the buttercream sort. I started this site a few years ago as a way to justify my sugary, buttery obsession with desserts. It has worked out well for me so far, because as it turns out you guys all love sugary, buttery desserts too! It feels good to know you're not alone, doesn’t it?

So… I rarely comment but for these I just had to.
I’ve been looking online for things to do with cake mix (I have like 45 maybe 50 boxes – but that’s a story for another day lol). My fam is sick of cake and cupcakes. I tried these out and sheeeeeeeesh
Gone in literally a day.
I like to experiment so I tweeked it a little bit. I added chocolate chips in a batch (chocolate mix) then coconut and pecans in another (vanilla mix).
Thanks so much for sharing. xo

Love the idea of adding chocolate chips, coconut, and pecans!
Can you substitute Neufchatel Cheese for the Cream Cheese?
sure!
I am an avid baker, but have never ever frozen cookies….any idea best way to freeze these ….making for a wedding…thank u, melani
Simply freeze them airtight and allow them to thaw out at room temperature!
These are amazing! Little clouds of perfection.

There are MANY comments here and I’ve read through some but not all so i apologize if its already been answered. Can this dough be made up and refrigerated prior to baking? We are having a cookie exchange where we all bake together and we like to have the dough made up before hand if possible. Thanks!
Yes, absolutely!
Is it salted or unsalted butter
I use salted, but you can use either!
Hi Shelly. In your recipe you notate 1/2 cup of butter (which is 1 stick, 8 Tbsp). However, in the video the butter looks more like 1/2 stick (4 Tbsp) when compared to the cream cheese block. Should it be 4Tbsp or 8Tbsp of butter? Thanks so much! Can’t wait to make this!
The sticks I used in the video were just shaped differently. Some brands just package a shorter, fatter stick 🙂 The measurement remains the same, 1/2 cup (8 tablespoons)
Thanks for the quick reply!
I rarely comment on recipes but had to for these. My 4 year old took the first bite and said “you better try one. These are delicious!” He wasn’t wrong! Wow these are good!
★★★★★
So glad he liked them!! Love that!
I love these cookies! And so does everyone else. Am I the only one who thinks these are really hard to mix? I must be doing something wrong. I have broken two hands mixers making these cookies. The dough gets so stiff once I add the cake mix! Do I need a stand mixer?
★★★★
How long do these last in freezer? Thanks!
I don’t recommend more than 30 days!
Made these for a first birthday and they were gone in 3 minutes flat. Had texts asking for the recipe from everyone at the party. This recipe is a winner!
★★★★★
I have made these over the past few years in several different flavors. Chocolate, Strawberry, Red Velvet, Funfetti, Carrot Cake, Spice Cake… Always a hit and so easy to make!
★★★★★
Hi, absolutely love these! I’ve mde them in so many flavors..lemon cake mix with added zest & juice, strawberry with added crushed freeze dried strawberries, chocolate with added choc chips…the list can go forever!!
★★★★★
I’ve made these a million times, they are amazing but I usually make them right before whatever event I am bringing them, will they still be as good if I make them the Night before??
★★★★★
Made this cookie for my granddaughter’s 1st birthday party. They were a hit! I actually made two batches but only cooked one due to time constraints. So I made the 2nd batch and brought them to work and everyone loved them.
