HOW TO MAKE SPRINKLE CAKE COOKIES

INGREDIENTS for Sprinkle Cake Cookies

  1. Gather your supplies – you can choose any sprinkles – but these are the best – they even have mini marshmallows in them!

2. Mix the melted butter and the egg first – then the cake mix – then the sprinkles. Please do it this way so the hot melted butter does not melt the sprinkles! You could actually throw the sprinkles in with the hot butter – it might make a pretty cool tie dyed cookie!

3. STOP – DO not skip this step. Put the dough in the fridge for 15minutes. The cookies will scoop better – flatten better and bake better. This will help to make the perfect sized cookie.

4. Alright now for the cookie scooping and forming. First, scoop the dough out – this scoop is about a tablespoon. Next, I roll the scoops into firmer balls. Finally, I flatten them with a flat glass. This helps to make certain the cookies all come out about the same size – therefore baking batter as well.

5. SPRINKLE TIME! We did not put enough sprinkles inside the cookie so we needed to add some on top. After the cookie has been flattened (just a tad) then dip it in some sprinkles.

6. POP THEM IN THE OVEN

7. COOL DOWN! These cookies are made of cake mix – they will break a bit easier than a regular cookie so please let them cool for a bit before removing from pan – then let them sit on the rack until COMPLETELY COOLED.
