I stole this recipe for Skinny Funfetti Cake Cookies from Eatyourselfskinny.com. These funetti cake cookies looked easy to make and only called for 3 ingredients. But I could not find the same size funetti cake mix (18.9 oz) that the website used. So after LOTS of trial and error I was able to adapt this recipe to the funfetti cake mix (15.25 oz) that I can easily find at my local grocery store. I included the original recipe below, in case the funfetti cake mixes near you come in 18.9 oz instead of 15.25. My version makes more cookies than the original recipe but trust me, they won’t go to waste. You won’t have to “delete cookies.”
In a large bowl add 2 boxes (15.25 oz each) Funfetti cake mix and ¾ cup plus 1 tbsp fat-free vanilla yogurt
Add 3 eggs
Mix until all clumps are gone.
Drop by tablespoonfuls onto a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper that has been sprayed with cooking spray.
Bake for about 10 to 12 minutes at 375 F, until cookies are slightly browned on the bottoms.
Cool on wire racks
Enjoy!

Recipe Notes
I don’t know where this blogger shops but I can’t find an 18.9 oz box of Funfetti cake mix, I only can find 15.25 oz boxes. Also some brands also call it sprinkle cake or birthday cake mix, not all brands call it Funfetti cake mix. So after LOTS of trial and error this is how I can make the cookies. And don’t try to use Greek yogurt it gives the cookies a weird taste.
To make these cookies using 15.25 oz boxes, in a bowl add: 2 boxes (15.25 oz each) Funfetti cake mix, ¾ cup plus 1 tbsp fat-free vanilla yogurt and 3 eggs.
Then follow the directions above. Rotate the cookie sheets as they cook in the oven. I use the upper racks and cook for 5 minutes, then switch the cookie sheets, cook for 5 minutes more, then switch again. Depending on how dark your cookie sheet is, the cookies may be ready closer to 12 minutes, lighter or shiny cookie sheets make take closer to 15 minutes. If you want to use only one 15.25oz cake box you can, but it involves way more math and having to use 1 + a little less than 2/3 egg. Trust me using the 2 box method is easier and the extra cookies don’t go to waste! Yield: 42 cookies
