Ingredients
Scale
Baking Dry Ingredients:
- 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 1/4 cups yellow cake mix
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
Wet Ingredients and Sweeteners:
- 3/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Mix-ins:
- 1 cup chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup sprinkles
Instructions
- Warm the oven to a moderate temperature and prepare a baking surface with a protective parchment layer.
- Combine the powdery dry components – flour, cake mix, and leavening agent – in a mixing vessel, whisking thoroughly to eliminate potential lumps.
- In a separate mixing container, transform butter and sugars into a light, aerated mixture using vigorous blending techniques until the texture becomes pillowy and soft.
- Incorporate the egg and aromatic vanilla essence into the creamed sugar mixture, stirring until completely integrated.
- Gradually fold the dry ingredient mixture into the wet ingredients, creating a cohesive dough with smooth consistency.
- Gently introduce chocolate morsels and colorful sprinkles, distributing them evenly throughout the dough using delicate folding motions.
- Portion the cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheet, ensuring consistent spacing between each dollop to allow proper spreading during baking.
- Position the baking sheet in the preheated oven and monitor for 10-12 minutes, looking for golden-brown edges as an indicator of perfect doneness.
- Remove from oven and allow cookies to rest momentarily on the baking sheet to stabilize their structure.
- Transfer the freshly baked cookies to a cooling rack, permitting them to reach room temperature and achieve optimal texture.
Notes
- Customize cake mix flavors like vanilla, strawberry, or funfetti for unique cookie variations.
- Add extra sprinkles for brighter, more colorful cookies that pop with festive charm.
- Chill dough for 30 minutes before baking to prevent excessive spreading and create thicker, chewier cookies.
- Experiment with different chocolate chip types like milk, dark, or white chocolate to transform the cookie’s flavor profile.
