Ingredients
Scale
- 1 box yellow cake mix
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1/4 cup rainbow sprinkles (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line your baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, combine the cake mix and all-purpose flour. Stir well to remove any lumps.
- In a separate bowl, beat the softened butter until smooth. Add the egg and vanilla extract, mixing until light and fluffy.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with the milk. Mix until a soft dough forms.
- Gently stir in the rainbow sprinkles, being careful not to overmix.
- Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough and place them on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are just set. The centers will be slightly soft.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.
Notes
[‘Chill the dough for 15-20 minutes if it feels sticky to prevent spreading.’, ‘Don’t overmix the dough to maintain a soft texture.’, ‘Experiment with mix-ins like chocolate chips, nuts, or crushed candy for variety.’]
