Funfetti Cake Mix Halloween Cookies

by ricookandclick

I have no connection with the companies listed within. All items listed are my personal preference.

So I adapted a recipe from Deliciously Sprinkles Oreo Funfetti cookies and combined it with a Betty Crocker Cake Mix gooey butter cookie recipe to create this Halloween delight.  Now I wasn’t able to get all the exact ingredients for the Oreo Funfetti cookies and I nixed the Halloween OREOS (nasty tasting) so by the time I got around to making these I took the gooey butter cookie shortcut.  I amped up the chocolate chips by using Reese’s Baking Cups and Pieces and then I increase the amount to 1 cup and then I said what the heck and used the entire 8.5 oz bag…okay so maybe I tested a handful of pieces.

  • 1- 8oz pkg cream cheese at room temperature
  • 1/2 cup butter, softened
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/4 tsp vanilla
  • 1- 8.5 oz pkg Reese’s Baking Cups and Pieces
  • 1 box Funfetti Cake Mix
  1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F
  2. Line baking sheet(s) with parchment paper
  3. In large bowl cream butter and sugar until well blended
  4. Add egg and vanilla and mix
  5. Stir in cake mix with large wooden spoon folding over (as dough becomes stiff) to blend well
  6. Stir in Reese’s
  7. Using full tbsp drop rounded cookie dough on parchment 1 inch apart (makes approx 27 cookies)
  8. Bake 11-15 minutes until edges brown and top is firmIMG_2239
  9. Remove from baking sheet and cool

NOTES:

  • dough should be stiff but it will combine completely with a little effort
  • hand mixer didn’t handle the dough well; a stand mixture with paddle attachment may work
  • for smaller cookies, use tsp
  • size of cookie placed on parchment paper is basically size of baked cookie
  • cookies keep in airtight container 2-3 days and 1 month in freezer…if you have any left
