Ingredients:
- 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 1/4 cups boxed vanilla cake mix (dry)
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1 large egg
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 cup chocolate chips
- 1/4 cup sprinkles (optional)
Instructions:
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Mix the dry ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cake mix, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
- Cream the butter and sugars: In a large bowl, beat the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
- Add the egg and vanilla: Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until fully combined.
- Combine wet and dry ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Add chocolate chips and sprinkles: Fold in the chocolate chips and sprinkles, if using, until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
- Bake the cookies: Scoop tablespoon-sized balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers are still soft.
- Cool and serve: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
