Firecracker Cookies

I made these for our 4th of July BBQ and they were the first dessert to go.... ;) Super yummy and super fun!

It's another Pinterest recipe, stolen from Cookin' Cowgirl (blogspot)!

Ingredients:

 

1 box french vanilla cake mix, 18.25 oz size (Make sure it is the right size!)

1 tsp baking powder

2 eggs

1/2 C vegetable oil

1/2 tsp vanilla extract

1/2 C red sprinkles (make sure to use the confetti style sprinkles, not the sugar/crystal style!)

1/2 C blue sprinkles
...Sounds like a LOT of sprinkles, but it works and the amount is what gives it that super cute firecracker look!

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a large bowl, mix together the cake mix and baking powder. In a small bowl, mix together the eggs, oil and vanilla. Add the egg mixture to the cake mixture and stir to combine. Stir in the sprinkles. Drop by spoonfuls onto a cookie sheet or silpat.

Bake for 10 minutes. Allow to cool for 5 minutes on the baking sheet before transferring to cooling rack. The cookies will be very soft at first. Cool and enjoy!


These would be super fun to do for kid's parties, graduation parties, BEAVER tailgating, etc....just switch out the color of the sprinkles!  (I am on the hunt for orange and black sprinkles for this year's football season!!!)
