How to Make Fruity Pebbles Cake Mix Cookies
Ingredients Needed
You will need:
OR you can use:
Recommended Tools
- Cookie scoop
- Parchment paper
- Baking sheets
- Wire cooling rack
Step-by-Step Guide
- Combine the cake mix, eggs, and oil in a stand mixer. Mix at medium-low speed for 2–3 minutes or until a soft dough forms.
- Cover the dough and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. Chilling helps the cookies hold their shape while baking.
- Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and allow it to preheat fully.
- Line your baking sheets with parchment paper for easy cleanup and to prevent sticking.
- Use a medium cookie scoop to create evenly sized-balls of dough. Place six cookies on each prepared baking sheet, leaving space for them to spread.
- Bake the cookies for 12–13 minutes, or until the edges are set and the tops look slightly puffed.
- Remove the baking sheets from the oven and let the cookies cool for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack. Let them cool completely before decorating.
- Once the cookies are cool, spread a layer of vanilla frosting on each cookie. Sprinkle generously with Fruity Pebbles for a colorful, crunchy topping.
- Serve and enjoy!
Baking Tips
- Use the right type of cake mix: Not all cake mixes are suitable for making cookies. Look for cake mixes that don’t contain pudding mix, as this can result in a cakey texture rather than a cookie texture. This recipe uses Duncan Hines Epic Fruity Pebbles Cake Kit OR Confetti Cake Mix.
- Add additional ingredients: To make the cookies more flavorful and interesting, add ingredients such as white chocolate chips or marshmallows.
- Use the right amount of oil: Follow the instructions on the cake mix box for the amount of oil to use. Adding too much oil can result in greasy cookies, while too little oil can result in dry cookies.
- Don’t overmix the dough: Overmixing the dough can lead to tough cookies. Mix until the ingredients are just combined, and then stop.
Storage
The best way to store Fruity Pebbles Cookies From Cake Mix is in an airtight container. Once the cookies have cooled completely, transfer them to a container with a tight-fitting lid to keep them fresh.
If the cookies are still warm, wait until they have cooled to room temperature before storing them. Storing warm cookies can cause them to become soft and lose their texture.
You can also place a piece of bread or a slice of apple in the container with the cookies. This will help keep them moist and fresh for a longer time. However, be sure to replace the bread or apple every day to prevent them from becoming moldy.
It’s also important to store the cookies in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, as heat and humidity can cause them to become stale or spoil faster.
If you need to store the cookies for an extended period, you can freeze them. Place the cookies in an airtight container or freezer bag and freeze for up to three months. Thaw the cookies at room temperature before serving.
