Prep Time: 2 hours, 15 minutes
Cook Time: 10 minutes
Total Time: 3 hours, 25 minutes
Yield: 28-32 cookies
Ingredients
- 1 and 1/3 cup (167g) all-purpose flour
- 1 and 1/4 cup (190g) yellow or vanilla boxed cake mix (dry mix only)
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 cup (170g) unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup (100g) packed light brown sugar
- 1 egg, at room temperature
- 1 and 1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 1 cup (180g) chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup (80g) sprinkles
Instructions
- Sift together the flour, cake mix, salt, and baking soda in a large bowl. Set aside.
- In a separate bowl, beat the softened butter and both sugars on medium speed until creamy, about 1 minute.
- Add the egg and mix on high until fully combined, about 1 minute. Scrape down the bowl as needed.
- Add vanilla and mix until combined.
- Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients and mix on low-medium speed until just combined.
- Fold in the chocolate chips and sprinkles until evenly distributed.
- Cover tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or up to 3-4 days.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (177°C). Line cookie sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats.
- Scoop rounded balls of dough (about 1.5 tablespoons each) onto the prepared baking sheets, keeping them tall rather than wide.
- Bake for 13-15 minutes, until the edges are lightly browned. The centers will be soft but will set as they cool.
- Press a few extra chocolate chips into the tops while warm, if desired.
- Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes
Cookie dough can be made ahead and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. Baked cookies can freeze well for up to 3 months. Unbaked dough balls can also be frozen; bake them directly from the freezer for an extra minute.
Tips
For a funfetti twist, you may use funfetti cake mix instead of vanilla. Remember, only use 1 and 1/4 cups of the dry mix, not the whole box. Gluten-free cake mix is not recommended.
