Description

These Cake Batter Cookies are a colorful, chewy treat packed with the nostalgic flavor of cake mix. They’re perfect for celebrations or just a fun dessert break.

Ingredients

Scale

2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup cake mix (any flavor you like)
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1 large egg
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/2 cup chocolate chips or colorful sprinkles

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line or grease a baking sheet.
Whisk flour, cake mix, baking soda, and salt in a bowl.
In a large bowl, cream butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until fluffy.
Mix in the egg and vanilla until fully combined.
Slowly add dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just mixed.
Fold in chocolate chips or sprinkles.
Drop tablespoon-sized dough balls onto the baking sheet, spaced about 2 inches apart.
Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the edges turn lightly golden.
Let cool on the sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

Notes

For a bolder cake flavor, choose a funfetti or flavored cake mix. Don’t overbake; take them out as soon as the edges turn golden. To freeze, scoop dough onto a tray, freeze until firm, then store in a bag. Bake from frozen with a few extra minutes.
