Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 (15.25-oz.) box classic yellow cake mix
Wet Ingredients
- 2 large eggs, room temperature
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil, plus more for greasing
Add-ins
- 3/4 cup sprinkles
Instructions
- Preheat and prepare dough: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a large bowl, whisk the yellow cake mix thoroughly to aerate it and break up any lumps. In another medium bowl, whisk together the eggs and vegetable oil until the mixture is smooth. Gently fold the egg and oil mixture into the cake mix using a spatula until a uniform dough forms with no dry streaks remaining.
- Shape and coat cookies: Spread the sprinkles evenly on a plate. Lightly grease a medium-sized ice cream scoop with vegetable oil to prevent sticking. Scoop out portions of the dough and roll each scoop in the sprinkles, coating the exterior completely. Place the coated dough balls onto two baking sheets lined with parchment paper, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading.
- Bake the cookies: Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10 to 12 minutes, or until they are slightly firm to the touch and set around the edges. Remove them from the oven and let the cookies cool completely on the baking sheets before serving to allow them to firm up fully.
Notes
- Ensure the eggs are at room temperature for best dough consistency.
- Do not overbake to maintain the soft, cake-like texture of the cookies.
- Use a medium-sized ice cream scoop for evenly sized cookies.
- You can substitute sprinkles with mini chocolate chips or nuts if preferred.
- Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
