Tips & Substitutions
For a fun twist, try adding chocolate chips or nuts to the batter for extra flavor and texture. If you don't have rainbow chip cake mix, a vanilla cake mix works well too. You can also use homemade frosting instead of store-bought for a personalized touch. Make sure to pipe the batter in uniform sizes for even baking.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make these cookies gluten-free?

How can I decorate these cookies for a special occasion?
You can use various sprinkles, edible glitter, or themed cupcake toppers to enhance their appearance. Consider matching the decorations to the event, such as using holiday-themed sprinkles for festive celebrations.
