    Confetti Cookies: A Fun, Kid-Friendly, Shortcut Recipe

    2
    By Sarah Hatfield on March 22, 2018 Dairy Free Desserts, Dairy-Free Recipes, Kids Can Cook, Sarah's Recipes

    I recently rediscovered a cookie recipe from when cake mix cookies were all the rage about a decade ago. This recipe for colorful Confetti Cookies was given to me by a woman at our church, who was so pleased to be able to make a cookie my little girl could eat.

    Confetti Cookies Recipe - a super-easy, dairy-free, hack recipe with vegan option! Kid-friendly and party-ready.

    This quick and easy recipe is a great kids can cook recipe because it’s just a “dump and mix” recipe. It’s also perfect for school parties or anywhere there will be a lot of hungry children. The recipe makes three to four dozen festive confetti cookies that would be appropriate for a birthday party, a carnival, or even Easter!

    The original directions call for colorful fruit-flavored rice cereal, but this time I decided to try some with cocoa rice cereal, too, for a chocolate option. Both varieties were enjoyed by my testers.

    Ingredient Notes: Confetti Cookies

    I used a generic brand of cereal that was safe for our family. But classic Fruity Pebbles, Cocoa Krispies, or your favorite all-natural, dairy-free variety will work, too.

    I used Aldi brand for the yellow cake mix, but Duncan Hines is another good option. Other dairy-free and vegan 1-pound yellow cake mixes should work well. But vegan-specific cake mixes that don’t call for eggs in the preparation might produce different results. And gluten-free cake mixes might not be an easy swap. They can vary quite a bit in quantity and preparation from traditional cake mixes, which could affect the results.

    Special Diet Notes: Confetti Cookies

    By ingredients, this recipe is dairy-free / non-dairy, nut-free, peanut-free, optionally soy-free, and vegetarian.

    For egg-free and vegan confetti cookies, I’d suggest trying vegan egg replacer or aquafaba as a substitute. We haven’t tested it yet, but please comment if you do!
