Ingredients

Cookies

Frosting

  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • 1/3 cup butter, softened
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1 to 2 tablespoons milk
  • Liquid food colors (neon pink, neon blue, neon green, classic yellow and red to make orange)
  • Assorted Betty Crocker™ colored sprinkles

Steps

  • 1
    Heat oven to 375°F. In medium bowl, stir sugar cookie mix, 1/2 cup dry cake mix, 1/2 cup butter and the egg until soft dough forms.
  • 2
    In small bowl, place remaining 1/2 cup dry cake mix. Shape dough into 36 (1-inch) balls. Roll balls in dry cake mix, coating completely. Place 2 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheets.
  • 3
    Bake 7 to 9 minutes or just until cookies are set. (Watch closely to prevent cookies from getting too crispy and overbaked.) Cool 1 minute; remove from cookie sheet to cooling rack. Cool completely, about 15 minutes.
  • 4
    In medium bowl, beat powdered sugar, 1/3 cup butter and vanilla with electric mixer on medium speed until blended. Beat in 1 tablespoon milk to make frosting smooth and spreadable. If frosting is too thick, beat in more milk, a few drops at a time. If frosting becomes too thin, beat in a small amount of powdered sugar. Divide frosting among 4 small bowls, about 1/4 cup each. Add food color to tiint frosting in each bowl.

    For each sandwich cookie, spread 1 rounded teaspoon frosting on bottom of 1 cooled cookie. Top with second cookie, bottom side down; gently press cookies together. Roll sides of sandwich cookie in sprinkles.

  • Make cupcakes with remaining dry cake mix. Use 2 1/3 cups of the remaining cake mix to make 15 cupcakes. Add 2 eggs, 3/4 cup water and 3 tablespoons vegetable oil to the cake mix. Mix and bake as directed on box.
