Ingredients
Scale
- 1 box of vanilla cake mix (or any flavor of your choice)
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup sprinkles (optional, but adds a festive touch)
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
- Make the Cookie Dough:
- In a large bowl, beat together the cake mix, softened butter, egg, and vanilla extract.
- Gradually add in the flour until the dough comes together.
- Fold in the sprinkles, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
- Form the Cookies:
- Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, drop dough balls onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Gently flatten each dough ball with your fingers or the back of a spoon to help them spread evenly while baking.
- Bake the Cookies:
- Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges of the cookies are lightly golden.
- Be careful not to overbake them, as they will firm up as they cool.
- Cool and Serve:
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Cake Mix Flavor: You can use any flavor of cake mix, such as chocolate, funfetti, or strawberry, to customize the cookies to your liking.
