Funfetti Sandwich Cookies

Aiden's 1-year birthday party was this past Saturday, and it was so fun to see family, especially after our wild illnesses to start the year! Aiden loved opening all his gifts, and was so excited to have so many people around.

I made these super easy cookies the morning of the party because at the last minute I thought it would be nice to offer something in addition to cupcakes. For his cake I made a "cupcake cake," which was really fun, and I'll post on that soon. But, if you like Funfetti cake, you need to try this recipe! Everyone loves these cookies, and they are simple, fun, and totally cute.

Funfetti Sandwich Cookies
1 box Funfetti cake mix
1/3 c. oil or melted butter
2 eggs
1/4 c. sprinkles, optional
1. Preheat oven to 350, and line a baking pan with parchment paper.
2. Mix all ingredients by hand until just combined. Don't overmix.
3. Drop by Tbls. onto prepared baking sheet and bake for 10 minutes, until cookies are set, and bottoms are lightly browned. Remove from oven and allow to cool completely before frosting.

To frost:
I used Rainbow Chip frosting because despite the fact that it's store bought, it's a family favorite (myself included!).
Using a butter knife, frost the bottom of one cookie with desired amount of frosting, and top with another cookie. You can roll the edges in sprinkles to make them even cuter, but I didn't. Now, eat 'em up! These go faaaast so you might want to snag one before you put them out.
