    Using Betty Crocker Cake Mix for Cookies is a hack that I have recommended to all of my friends who have been stuck at the last minute for a bake sale or class party treat. I have been there more times than I can count with my kids between sport, cheer and holidays. I swear it happens at least twice a year.

    Cake Batter Cookies with Sprinkles can be used for any occasion. Throw in red and green for Christmas, pink and purple for Easter or red, white and blue for any patriotic holiday, like 4th of July or Memorial Day. This works for Labor Day too.

    Cut Out Cookies using Cake Mix

    Scoop the cookies as they are, or use a unicorn cookie cutter like these unicorn cookies. Also, you aren’t limited to just making unicorns. Use whatever cookie cutters you like. I love these ABC cookies cutters, I use them for everything. If my kids could tell me the letter, they got the treat. Later, they had to be able to tell me the letter sounds. Make it a game.

    If you kids love dinosaurs, like my grandson, use cute dinosaur cookies cutters to shape the Rainbow Sprinkle Cake Mix Cookies. Also, if the kids are into princesses and princes, use crowns. If they love trucks, there are some really cool cars and trucks that would work really well.

    Do you put sprinkles on cookies before you bake them or after you bake them?

    You can do both. For the unicorn cake mix cookies, I am adding the sprinkles in before I bake them. I like that because then the sprinkles are inside of the cookies. I usually add sprinkles to the tops of the cookies when I using things like glaze or frosting. Sprinkles can be added alone after the cookies are baked but they do not stick as well.

    What is the difference between cake and cookie mix?

    The main difference between cake and cookie mix is that cake mix has a lot more leavening in it than cookie mix. This means that there are ingredients added to the batter to make it rise, resulting in a light and fluffy cake. Cookie mix does not have as much leavening, so the cookies tend to be denser and chewier. Additionally, the type of flour and sweetener used in each mix can also vary depending on the recipe. Overall, there are many different factors that contribute to the differences between cake and cookie mixes, making them two unique baking ingredients with their own distinct characteristics.

    Since you are making Cake Mix Cookies with Sprinkles, these cookies have the leavening ingredients resulting in a fluffy cookie.

    What is the difference between a unicorn and a regular cookie?

    Unicorn sprinkle cake mix cookies are special because it has sprinkles in the dough and it is cut into the shape of a unicorn. These cookies are so much fun to make with kids or for a party.
