Directions
{{model.addEditText}} Print- Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Line 2 baking sheet with silicone baking mats.
- Beat cake mix, eggs, 1/2 cup flour, 3 tablespoons flour, and soybean oil together in a stand mixer until stiff.
- Divide and roll dough into 1-inch balls and arrange on prepared baking sheets and flatten to about 1/2-inch thick.
- Bake in preheated oven until somewhat firm in the center, 12 to 14 minutes. Remove from oven and let cookies sit undisturbed until set, about 5 minutes more.
- Spread a sheet of aluminum foil onto a countertop. Transfer cookies to foil to cool completely, at least 20 minutes.
- Beat confectioners' sugar, butter, shortening, half-and-half, and vanilla extract together with a hand mixer until smooth; spoon into a pastry bag and pipe onto cooled cookies or just spread onto cookies using a spatula.

- Cook's Note:
- You must use sprinkles to decorate the frosted cookies; if you don't, the sugar cookie fairies will come and take your cookies away, because you don't deserve them.
- You can use milk in place of half-and-half depending on how thick you want your icing.
- Partner Tip
- Reynolds® Aluminum foil can be used to keep food moist, cook it evenly, and make clean-up easier.
