Ingredients
Scale
- 1 box (16.5 oz) sprinkle cake mix
- 1/2 cup butter, softened
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 eggs, room temperature
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
- Extra sprinkles for topping (optional)
Instructions
- Prep the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Cream the Base: In a large bowl, use a stand mixer or hand mixer to beat the softened butter and granulated sugar together for about a minute, until the mixture is light and fluffy.
- Mix in Wet Ingredients: Scrape down the sides of the bowl. Add the room-temperature eggs and vanilla extract. Mix on low speed until everything is just combined.
- Add Dry Ingredients: Pour in the cake mix and all-purpose flour. Mix on low until the dough comes together. Be careful not to overmix!
- Scoop and Shape: Use a 2-tablespoon cookie scoop to portion out the dough. Place the balls on your prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between them. For extra sparkle, gently press a few extra sprinkles into the tops of each dough ball.
- Bake: Bake for 10–12 minutes. The cookies are done when the edges look set and a light golden brown, but the centers still look soft.
- Cool: Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 3-5 minutes before moving them to a wire rack. They will continue to set as they cool.
Notes
- Serving: These cookies are amazing on their own, or you can serve them with a cold glass of milk for the ultimate nostalgic treat.
- Storage: Once fully cooled, store your cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. They stay perfectly soft and chewy!
- Freezing: You can freeze the baked cookies in a freezer-safe bag for up to 3 months. You can also freeze the raw dough balls and bake them straight from the freezer for fresh cookies on demand (just add a few extra minutes to the bake time).
