Gluten Free Funfetti Cookies

The name of these cookies should be Gluten Free Funfetti Box Cake Chewy Crinkle Cookies but that was way to long so I decided on Gluten Free Funfetti Cookies. I tried making a few versions of these cookies but I finally came up with the perfect one. They’re gluten free but you would never know it by how soft and chewy they are.

Gluten Free Funfetti Cookies

I always test gluten free desserts on my family to see what they think since they don’t have to exclude gluten from their diet. They love them and the texture is perfect.

Ingredients needed:

Pillsbury Gluten Free Cake Mix
4 ounces Cream Cheese (softened)
2 Eggs
1/3 Cup Butter or Margarine (melted)
Powdered Sugar

Funfetti Cookie Ingredients

Use a mixer to blend cream cheese, butter, and eggs together until smooth.

Funfetti Cookie wet ingredients

Add cake mix and stir with spoon until well blended.

Funfetti Cookie mix

Roll dough into a ball then roll in powdered sugar.

You can leave them in a ball or smash them down a bit with the bottom of a glass. I like to smash them down, but that’s just my preference.

Funfetti Cookies flattened

Bake in 350 degree oven for 9 minutes. They will crack a bit on the top. Let them cool a few minutes then remove from cooking stone. I like to use a stone for cookies because they seem to bake more even. Oh my, don’t they look delicious? Well, they are and since they start with a cake mix they are fast and easy to make.

I think eating dessert first is always a great idea!

The cake mix makes 2 dozen medium sized cookies.

I usually encourage the kids to eat a healthy snack after school but I gave them a choice today. What do you think they picked for their after school snack? Hubby comes home tomorrow night but I doubt there will be any left by then. I guess I’ll have to make more.

    Could you add Nutella to these?
    I was thinking firm up the nutella in fridge/ freezer in small teaspoon size ball
    place in the center and then roll into powered sugar!
    Thanks

    I just made these and they are absolutely delicious! They remind me of the Lofthouse style frosted cookies. Thanks for sharing!

    Thank You so much for posting this recipe. I’ve always made the funfetti cakes after learning how delicious they are so, I knew these would be something special. There are 3 of us in my house that are gluten free, I am always thrilled when I find a recipe that’s a keeper.

    How could I make these without using the cream cheese?

    I have a few gluten-free friends and this is my go-to recipe! Everyone loves them and can’t believe they are gluten free. Thanks for an easy incredible recipe.

    These were so simple and delicious! I made a vanilla buttercream icing, and it was like a funfetti cupcake but without any mess!
