They are super easy to make, although the batter has to chill so it takes a little longer than the average recipe. Any kid would LOVE these cookies.. as would most adults. They are moist, colorful and delicious!
Ingredients
1 1/4 cup flour
1 1/4 cup yellow cake mix (white would work too)
1/2 tsp baking soda
3/4 butter, room temp
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 egg, room temp
1 1/2 tsp vanilla
1 cup chocolate chip
1/2 cup sprinkles
Here's how you do it...
First cream together the butter and sugars. Next, add the vanilla and egg until the ingredients are creamy. While your mixer is busy working, sift together the flour, cake mix, and baking soda. Add the dry ingredients to the wet and mix until just combined. Stir in the sprinkles and chippits and then throw it in the fridge for a few hours (I threw it in the freezer for an hour to hurry things up). Initially I thought this was unnecessary but I did it anyway. I'm definitely glad I did!! So.. DO IT!!!
Preheat the oven to 350F when the dough is finished cooling. Scoop ovals of dough and place them on an ungreased cookie sheet (make sure they stand tall). Try to keep the dough as cool as possible before putting them in the oven. Bake the cookies for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are very slightly browned (they should still look soft). Once out, let the cookies cool for a few minutes until moving them to a wire rack.
I made some giant cookies and some smaller ones using a scoop. Both sizes turned out great, although the smaller ones looked a little cuter :) Don't they just look ADORABLE!!
