Equipment
- Wooden Spoon
- Baking Sheet
- Oven
- Mixing Bowl
Ingredients
- 1 bag/box white cake mix
- 2 large eggs at room temperature
- 1/3 cup unsalted butter melted
- 1/4 cup sprinkles plus more for sprinkling on top
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. It’s important to have the right temperature for baking cookies, ensuring they cook evenly.
- In a large bowl, combine the white cake mix, eggs, and melted butter. Stir gently until everything is well blended. The dough will be thick and slightly sticky, which is perfect!
- Now, stir in 1/4 cup of sprinkles until they are evenly distributed throughout the dough. You want to create a vibrant mixture full of color.
- Using a 1 tablespoon scoop or measuring spoon, carefully place rounded balls of dough on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silpat. Make sure to leave some space between each cookie.
- Sprinkle a few extra sprinkles on top of each cookie to ensure they look festive once baked. It’s all about that presentation!
- Slide the baking sheet into the preheated oven and bake for 10 to 12 minutes. Keep an eye on them; you'll know they’re done when the edges are lightly golden and the tops feel dry to the touch.
- After baking, let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for about 2 minutes. This allows them to set before transferring them to cooling racks for the final cool down.
- Once cooled, enjoy these delightful treats with your family or friends, or save some for yourself—no judgment here!
Notes
Storage: Store any leftover cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. They’ll stay soft and delicious!
Freezing: You can freeze the dough for up to three months. Just scoop the dough onto a baking sheet, freeze until solid, then transfer to a zip-top bag.
Pairing: These cookies pair wonderfully with a glass of milk or a scoop of ice cream for an extra special treat.
Variations: Try adding nuts or swapping sprinkles for chocolate chips to change things up!
