Ingredients
Scale
- 1 box (~15 oz) yellow cake mix
- 1/4 cup (30g) all-purpose flour
- 1/3 cup (80ml) vegetable oil
- 2 large eggs, room temperature
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/3 cup (50g) sprinkles
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats.
- In a medium bowl, combine the cake mix, flour, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth using a hand mixer or spoon.
- Gently fold in the sprinkles with a spatula, being careful not to overmix.
- Use a cookie scoop or tablespoon to drop balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 9-11 minutes. The cookies will look slightly underbaked when removed from the oven.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 2 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
[‘Don’t overbake the cookies; they should look slightly underdone when removed from the oven.’, ‘Let eggs sit at room temperature for 30 minutes before mixing for even incorporation.’, ‘Chill the dough for 15-20 minutes if your kitchen is warm to make handling easier.’, ‘Use fresh sprinkles for the best flavor.’, ‘Experiment with flavors like almond extract, peppermint extract, or rum extract for variations.’]
