Cake Batter Cookies

By stancec44

It all starts with a box of cake mix. Doctor it up a bit to make the dough, toss in some sprinkles for a Funfetti effect and then bake for a mere 10 minutes. We can think of only one thing that could make these better: Eat them with ice cream.

Ingredients

• 1 box vanilla cake mix
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 1/4 cup sprinkles
• 1/2 cup vegetable or canola oil
• 2 eggs
• 1 egg yolk
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla

Preparation

Step 1

1. Preheat the oven to 350°. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
2. In a large bowl, whisk the cake mix with the baking powder and sprinkles to combine (be sure to break up any lumps).

3. In a small bowl, whisk the oil with the eggs, egg yolk and vanilla to combine. Add the oil mixture to the bowl with the dry ingredients and mix until fully incorporated.

4. Scoop out the cookie dough and place 6 mounds of dough onto each prepared baking sheet (see Finishing Touches, below). Leave at least ¾ inch between each cookie, as they spread quite a bit as they bake.

5. Bake until the surface is crackly and the cookies are slightly golden around the edges, 8 to 10 minutes. Cool before serving.
