Funfetti Cookies

I needed a 'treat' for a barbecue today and wasn't sure what to make.  I saw the Stars & Strips Funfetti Cake Mix on clearance at Target and knew what I wanted to do.  I had lots of help from my little munchkin.

We started with this

1 (18.9 oz) pkg Pillsbury Stars & Stripes Funfetti Cake Mix

1/3 cup oil

2 eggs

1 (15.6 oz) can Pillsbury Stars & Stripes Funfetti Frosting

- optional fun shapes - I had these on hand and my little munchkin wanted to use them

Sorry for some blurry pics......

 

In large bowl, combine cake mix, oil and eggs; stir with spoon until thoroughly moistened.  Stir in candy bits from cake mix. 

Shape dough into 1-inch balls.  Place 2 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheet.

 (or in our case the star fun shape)

Flatten to 1/4-inch thickness with bottom of glass dipped in flour

(a glass was too big for the star shapes so we used the sprinkles container)

Bake at 375 degrees for 6 to 8 minutes or until edges are light golden brown. 
(ours took 9 minutes)  Cool for one minute; remove from cookie sheets

Spread frosting over cookies.  Immediately sprinkle each with candy bits from frosting.  Store in tightly covered container.

Makes 3 dozen cookies

(ours only made 2 dozen with the shapes)

Happy bakin' and Happy 4th!

Linking to some of the wonderful parties.
