Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 box (approx. 15.25 oz) Yellow or vanilla cake mix
- 0.5 cup (softened) Unsalted butter
- 2 Large eggs
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.75 cup Sprinkles
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cake mix, softened butter, eggs, and vanilla extract. Stir together until a thick dough forms.
Fold in the sprinkles gently so they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, portion out the dough and roll into balls. Place each ball at least 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are slightly golden. The centers may look slightly underbaked, but they will firm up as they cool.
Remove the baking sheets from the oven and let the cookies rest for 2-3 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once cooled, serve and enjoy! Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
