Creaming: mixing your butter and the sugar at the beginning will really help make your cookie softer and airier.
Instructions
NOTE: This recipe is for a 15.25 oz cake mix. So if you are using a 16.25 oz box, decrease your flour to ¾ cup.
1.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
2.
Line a baking sheet with a silicone mat or parchment paper.
3.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the cake mix and the flour.
4.
Add the chocolate chips and the sprinkles. Mix well until both are coated with the cake mix mixture. Set aside.
5.
In another mixing bowl, cream together the butter and cane sugar. Mix for about 2 minutes with a hand mixer until nice and fluffy.
6.
Add the eggs, one at a time, then the vanilla extract. Mix well until all ingredients are incorporated.
7.
Slowly add the dry mixture, about ½ cup at a time. Mix until there are no more dry ingredients. Do not overmix.
Double-Scoop Technique
NOTE: They are big cookies so use a medium cookie scoop (1 1/2 tablespoons). The double-scoop makes for a crispy golden edge and a soft tender center.
8.
Using a cookie scoop, scoop the dough into a ball onto the cookie sheet, leaving 1 ½ inch between each. They will spread.
NOTE: If you are making the Double-Scoop cookies continue to step 9. If you prefer the Single-Scoop version, go to step 10.
9.
Scoop a second ball and place it on top and center of the first one. Press down like you want to “squish” the first ball. Then release the dough from the scoop.
10.
Bake, the Double-Scoop, in the preheated oven for 12 to 13 minutes. The edges will set and be slightly golden.
Bake, Single-Scoop, for 8 to 9 minutes.
11.
Allow the cookies to cool off on the cookie sheet for 2-3 minutes then transfer them to a cooling rack.

Funfetti Time, ENJOY!
Substitutions
Cane sugar can be substituted with granulated sugar. If you don’t have unbleached all-purpose flour, use bleached.

- Omit chocolate chips – Simply choose another flavor you prefer or leave out for more funfettiness.
- Deluxe – add nuts, chop some cooking chocolate or your favorite chocolate bar, or even candied fruits.
