Ingredients

Scale
  • 15.25 oz yellow cake mix
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons milk
  • 1/2 cup sprinkles (nonpareils or jimmies)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats and set aside.
  2. In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the yellow cake mix and all-purpose flour.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened unsalted butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes).
  4. Add the eggs, one at a time, to the butter and sugar mixture. Beat well after each addition, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed.
  5. Mix in the vanilla extract and milk until combined.
  6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until the dough comes together.
  7. Gently fold in the sprinkles, being careful not to overmix.
  8. Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  9. Bake for 9-11 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers may look slightly underbaked but will set as they cool.
  10. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack to cool completely.

Notes

[‘Don’t overbake the cookies; they should look slightly underdone in the center when you pull them out of the oven.’, ‘Use room temperature ingredients for smoother dough.’, ‘Chill the dough for 15-20 minutes if it feels sticky.’, ‘Space cookie dough evenly on the baking sheet to avoid sticking together.’, ‘Choose smaller sprinkles like jimmies or nonpareils to prevent excessive color bleeding.’]
