Print Recipe Pin Recipe

Ingredients
  

  • 1 C Unsalted Butter, at room temp
  • 3/4 C Granulated Sugar
  • 3/4 C Light Brown Sugar
  • 2 tsp Vanilla Extract
  • 2 large Eggs
  • 2 C All-Purpose Flour
  • 2 C Yellow or Vanilla or White Cake Mix (just the dry mix)
  • 1 tsp Baking Powder
  • 1 tsp Baking Soda
  • 1 tsp Salt
  • 1-1 ½ C White Chocolate Chips
  • ½ C Sprinkles

Instructions
 

  • In an electric mixer, cream room temperature butter and sugars. Mix until well combined.
  • Crack eggs, one at a time and add to butter/sugar mixture. Add in vanilla. Mix until well combined.
  • In a separate bowl, mix together the dry cake mix, flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
  • Add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients. Add in chocolate chips and sprinkles as well. Mix until well combined and there are no longer any chunks.
  • Cover cookie dough bowl tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 2-3 hours. This step is important as cookie dough needs to be cold when baked or cookies will spread.
  • Measure cookie dough mounds into 1.5-2 oz balls. Mound the cookie dough balls high so that the middles will stand tall when baked.
  • Place cookie dough mounds on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or silicone baking mats. Cookies should be at least 2 inches apart.
  • Bake cookies at 350 degrees for 12-14 minutes. Watch the cookies very carefully. When the edges have set and the tops start to brown, they are ready to be removed. Overbaking these cookies will lead them to spread.
  • Allow cookies to finish baking on the hot sheet for another 30 minutes or so before removing.
