Ingredients You’ll Need

  • 1 box (15.25-15.5 oz) vegan funfetti cake mix: This is the star of the show! Using a vegan cake mix ensures that these cookies will be moist and flavorful. If you can’t find a vegan mix, you can always make your own using flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  • ½ cup melted and cooled vegan butter: This adds richness and a buttery flavor. You can also use coconut oil if you prefer a lighter taste.
  • ¼ cup nondairy milk (soy, oat, almond, etc.): The milk helps to bind everything together and keeps the cookies soft. Any plant-based milk works perfectly here!
  • ½ cup vegan mini chocolate chips (optional): While not essential, these little gems add a delightful burst of chocolatey flavor, making them even more indulgent. You can substitute with carob chips or leave them out entirely to keep it simple.

How to Make Easy Vegan Funfetti Cake Mix Cookies (Only 4 Ingredients!)

  1. Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). This ensures that your cookies bake evenly and come out perfectly.

  2. Mix Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the vegan funfetti cake mix with the melted vegan butter. Stir until the mix is well-blended and resembles a thick batter.

  3. Add Nondairy Milk: Pour the nondairy milk into the bowl and mix everything together until smooth. If you’re using mini chocolate chips, fold them in at this stage for an extra sweet touch.

  4. Scoop the Dough: Using a cookie scoop or a tablespoon, drop the dough onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, leaving space between each cookie for spreading.

  5. Bake: Place the cookies in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes. They should be slightly golden at the edges and still soft in the center.

  6. Cool & Enjoy: Once baked, let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy them warm!

Storing & Reheating

To store your Easy Vegan Funfetti Cake Mix Cookies, place them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. For longer storage, refrigerate them for about a week, ideally in a sealed container to maintain freshness. You can also freeze the cookies for up to 3 months. Just ensure they are well-wrapped to prevent freezer burn. When you’re ready to enjoy again, simply pop them in the microwave for about 10-15 seconds or enjoy them cold for a chewy treat!

Chef’s Helpful Tips

  • Don’t overmix the dough; stir just until everything is combined for soft, fluffy cookies.
  • If the batter seems too dry, add a tad more nondairy milk, one tablespoon at a time, until it reaches a good consistency.
  • For varied flavor, consider adding a teaspoon of vanilla extract for extra depth.
  • Keep an eye on the cookies as they bake; they continue to firm up once out of the oven.
  • Adjust the cooking time depending on your oven’s accuracy; every oven can differ!

These cookies are a crowd-pleaser and an easy go-to recipe for anyone looking to satisfy their sweet tooth quickly.
