Description
These Cake Batter Chocolate Chip Cookies combine a cookie and cake to give you the perfect combination of both! They’re soft, chewy and full of colorful sprinkles, and they don’t lack at all on the cake batter flavor – they use an entire box of cake mix!
Ingredients
Scale
- 3/4 cup (168g) unsalted butter, room temperature
- 1/4 cup (56g) packed light brown sugar
- 1/4 cup (52g) sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 large egg yolk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 15.25 oz box Funfetti cake mix
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 3–4 tbsp sprinkles
- 1 1/4 cups (211g) chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (176°C). Line a baking sheet with a silicone baking mat or parchment paper.
- Cream the butter and sugars together in a large mixer bowl until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
- Add the egg and mix until well combined. Add the egg yolk and vanilla extract and mix until well combined.
- Add the cake mix and salt and mix until well combined. Do not over mix.
- Scrape down the sides of the bowl to be sure everything is well incorporated, then fold in the chocolate chips and sprinkles.
- Scoop balls of cookie dough about 2 tablespoons (about 38g) in size. A cookie scoop can make that easier. The cookie dough is a bit sticky, so you can refrigerate it for 20-30 minutes, if you’d like.
- Press some extra chocolate chips into the tops of the cookies, if desired. Bake for 8-12 minutes, or until they are just beginning to brown around the edges. They will continue to cook as they cool, so don’t over bake them.
- Remove from oven and allow to cool for 3-4 minutes, then remove to finish cooling on a cooling rack.
- Store cooled cookies in an air-tight container. Best if eaten within 3-4 days
Notes
Cake Mix: I used Pillsbury Funfetti cake mix. You can use another one, but keep in mind that they are all a little different, so results could vary. I did test Betty Crocker vanilla cake mix and the cookies did spread more and ended up fairly thin. You could leave the extra egg yolk out for that brand if you want thicker cookies. You’ll also want to double-check the ounces in the box as some brands have been reducing the amount of cake mix in each box, which will affect the cookies.
