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. Tips 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.
