Ingredients

  • 1 box 15.25 oz white cake mix
  • 2 eggs
  • ½ cup vegetable oil
  • ½ cup mix ins - ¼ cup each of red and blue jimmie sprinkles ¼ cup white chocolate chips or ¼ cup red and blue chocolate candies

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line cookie sheet with parchment paper or silicone mat.
  • In a large bowl, combine cake mix, eggs and oil.
  • Slowly and gently stir in additional mix-ins, if desired.
  • Evenly divide dough with a cookie scoop or tablespoon.
  • Place on prepared cookie sheet. Bake at 350 degrees F for 10-12 minutes.
  • Remove from oven and place pan on wire rack. Cool on the pan for 5 minutes.
  • Transfer the cookies to wire rack to cool completely. Store in airtight container until ready to eat.
  • Enjoy!

Notes

  • Scoop – use an ice cream scoop to keep all your cookies the same size. This allows them to bake evenly and prevent burnt cookies.
  • Easy Prep – make the batter up to 2 days in advance and store in the fridge until ready to bake. Add sprinkles just before baking to prevent the colors from running.
  • Chill – refrigerate the dough for 15-20 minutes for easier scooping. It is stickier than regular cookie dough.
  • Bake – don’t over bake. If they start to brown they will be overcooked.
  • Cool – allow them to cool on the pan for a few minutes before transferring to a cooling rack. They will break apart if too warm.
  • Store – they keep at room temp for up to week if stored in an air tight container.
  • Freeze – freeze in a freezer bag for up to 2 months.
  • Customize – use add ins of different color combinations to match the holiday or occasion.
