These Confetti Chews are the perfect bridge between a soft cake and a chewy cookie. Made with a classic Funfetti cake mix and enriched with cream cheese (or Cool Whip for a lighter version) and an egg, the batter becomes incredibly tender and moist. Rolling the dough balls in confectioners’ sugar before baking creates a delightful, snowy crust that contrasts with the colorful sprinkles inside. They bake up quickly and offer a nostalgic, party-in-a-bite experience. Ideal for birthday parties, potlucks, or just a sweet afternoon snack, these treats are easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser.

Directions
-
Preheat your oven to 350&# 194;°F (175ðC) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or leave it ungreased.
-
Open the cake mix package and carefully reserve the colorful candy bits (sprinkles) found at the bottom of the bag.
-
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cake mix powder, Cool Whip (or cream cheese), and one egg.
-
Beat the mixture on low speed until it is just moistened and a thick, cohesive dough forms.
-
Gently fold the reserved candy bits into the dough by hand using a rubber spatula to avoid breaking up the sprinkles.
-
Place confectioners' sugar in a shallow bowl. Drop spoonfuls of the dough into the sugar and roll them into small, uniform balls.
-
Arrange the sugar-coated dough balls on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow for slight spreading.
-
Bake for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the bottoms are lightly golden but the centers still feel soft and chewy.
-
Remove from the oven and let the chews cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
