Sprinkled Cake Batter Chocolate Chip Cookies

I stumbled upon this recipe several weeks ago and was shocked!  Shocked that I have not seen this before.  Sure, I have seen cookies made with a cake mix, but nothing like this.  The cookies actually have a cake batter flavor.  Whoa.  I had no idea this was possible.  The clincher here though?  Definitely the sprinkles.  My Hungry Little Puppies could scarce believe their eyes when they found LOADS of sprinkles in their chocolate chip cookies.  I can almost guarantee that they will request this recipe again.

Sprinkled Cake Batter Chocolate Chip Cookies

3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks) butter, room temperature
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/4 cups all purpose flour
1 1/4 cups yellow cake mix
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 cup semi sweet chocolate chips
1/2 cup white chocolate chips
1 bottle (2.1 ounces) nonpareil sprinkles

Preheat the oven to 350F.  Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Cream together the butter, sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.  Beat in the egg and vanilla until well blended.  Add the flour, cake mix, and baking soda, and beat until just combined.  Stir in the semi sweet chocolate chips, white chocolate chips, and sprinkles.

Using a cookie scoop, scoop the dough (about 2 tablespoons) into balls and place on the prepared baking sheet.  Bake the cookies for about 11 minutes or until they are just set in the center.  Remove cookies from the oven and let cool on the pan for 2 to 3 minutes.  Carefully remove cookies from the pan and place on a cooling rack to cool completely.  Makes about 2 dozen cookies.

Enjoy!  -Cardamommy
