Ingredients
Scale
- ½ cup (115g) unsalted butter, softened
- ½ cup (100g) granulated sugar
- ½ cup (100g) brown sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 ¼ cups (160g) all-purpose flour
- ¾ cup (95g) cake mix (vanilla or yellow)
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¾ cup (130g) semi-sweet chocolate chips
- ⅓ cup (50g) sprinkles
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat ½ cup (115g) unsalted butter, ½ cup (100g) granulated sugar, and ½ cup (100g) brown sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
- Add one large egg and 1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract to the mixture. Beat until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 ¼ cups (160g) all-purpose flour, ¾ cup (95g) cake mix, ½ teaspoon baking soda, and ¼ teaspoon salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined.
- Fold in ¾ cup (130g) semi-sweet chocolate chips and ⅓ cup (50g) sprinkles using a spatula.
- Use a cookie scoop or tablespoon to drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers may look slightly underbaked, but they’ll set as they cool.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
[‘Don’t overmix the dough to avoid dense cookies.’, ‘Use room temperature ingredients for a smoother dough.’, ‘Chill the dough for 20-30 minutes to prevent spreading and achieve a thicker texture.’, ‘Monitor baking time closely and remove cookies when edges are golden but centers are still soft.’, ‘Reserve some sprinkles to press onto the tops of the cookies before baking for a picture-perfect look.’]
