Perfectly soft and chewy, and smothered in cheerful sprinkles, these wildly delicious Sprinkle Cookies always steal the show! With just 4 ingredients, they're also CRAZY easy to make. Just watch out though, because they have this uncanny knack of disappearing without a trace!
Servings: 25 cookies
Ingredients
- 13.25 ounces Betty Crocker French Vanilla Cake Mix (if using a 15.25 oz. box, increase butter to 1/2 cup, Vanilla can also be substituted)
- 1/3 cup Melted Butter (Vegetable or Canola Oil can be substituted)
- 2 large Eggs
- 2/3 cup Nonpareils Sprinkles (two 3 oz. containers will be plenty)
Instructions
- Gather your ingredients.
- Combine Cake Mix, Melted Butter (or oil), and Eggs in large mixing bowl, and mix with hand mixer or stand mixer until well combined.
- Cover dough and chill in refrigerator for 2 hours.
- After dough has chilled, preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Pour sprinkles into bowl, and set aside.
- Line large baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Roll cookie dough into 1 1/2 tablespoon sized rounded balls, then roll each dough ball around several times in the sprinkles, until it has been heavily coated.
- Place sprinkle dough balls on cookie sheet, and use a small mason jar or glass to gently press down on the top of each one to flatten it a bit.
- Bake on center oven rack for 7 - 13 minutes, or until done. (Note: Bake on the shorter end of the time range for non-stick cookie sheets & longer end of the time range for aluminum cookie sheets.)
- Remove from oven and allow to cool on cookie sheets for 5 minutes.
- Transfer cookies to wire racks to finish cooling, and ENJOY!
Notes
- Butter: When it comes to cake mix cookies, salted or unsalted butter can be used, as the cake mix will have a little salt in it. However, I've found that salted butter will result in superior flavor.
