We all love a great soft and chewy sugar cookie. How could you make that any better? How about if you amp it up to next level cakeyness? And how about if you could make them in under 25 minutes with a simple 3 ingredient recipe? These Gluten Free Cake Mix Cookies are the cookies you’ve been craving!

Seriously, this twist on the classic could be your new favorite, or it could just be another delicious go-to cookie option. How fun would these be for birthday parties or picnics or anytime you need a festive treat to share without having to go to a lot of effort (um, always!)? 

They really are super easy to whip up, but also so tasty. I can’t decide which is their best attribute, honestly. You be the judge and let me know in the comments!

Note that the recipe, as written, uses only HALF of my gfJules Best Gluten Free Cake Mix. Feel free to use a WHOLE mix if you’re baking for a party! (And if you’re fresh out of my gfJules Cake Mix, follow the instructions in the recipe card to bake from scratch with my gfJules Flour.)

Where Do I Get Gluten Free Sprinkles?

Whenever I post recipes like this one using sprinkles I always get questions asking where to get gluten free sprinkles and where to find dye-free or naturally colored sprinkles? The ones used here are from Watkins.

But there are several other brands starting to offer similar products, but not likely at your local grocery store. I’ve linked the Watkins Rainbow Decorating Sprinkles for you so you can find them easily on-line if you’d like to order (affiliate link).

I can’t wait to hear how you like this new, super easy recipe for Gluten Free Cake Mix Cookies. Don’t forget you can always fall back on my tried and true Gluten Free Cut-Out Sugar Cookie Mix, as well. You can’t go wrong there! But this is a nice option for a little something different with even fewer ingredients to add.

There are also loads of other recipes for my Best Gluten Free Cake Mix here on my gfJules site. Just use the search bar and type in “cake mix”. You’ll find much more delicious recipes inspiration there!
