White Chocolate Cake Batter Cookies With Sprinkles!

For a few days now, I've had a craving for something reaaaalllllly sweet and I finally decided to give into the craving today. I wanted something sweet, but not necessarily "chocolately", so these white chocolate cake batter cookies with sprinkles were perfect! They were soft, dense, and oh so delicious. The recipe was slightly adapted from: Sally's Baking Addiction

Here's what you'll need:

1 box of white cake mix (432 grams; I used French Vanilla by Betty Crocker)

1 tsp baking powder

2 eggs

1/3 salted butter, melted

1/2 tsp vanilla extract

1/2 cup white chocolate chips

1/2 cup rainbow sprinkles

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F, and either line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it. 

In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter (cool slightly), vanilla, and eggs until well mixed. Add in the cake mix and baking powder, and stir until combined, then stir in the white chocolate chips followed by the rainbow sprinkles. Don't stir in the sprinkles too much because they might dye your cookie dough. 

The dough is SUPER sticky, so using a spoon, drop balls of cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheet. My dough balls were about the size of a golf ball. Bake for 10 minutes. The cookies shouldn't be brown on top, but this is okay because they will harden up a bit once cooled —plus you want the cookies to be soft and gooey. Let the cookies cool for 5 or so minutes on the baking sheet before placing them on a wire rack to finish cooling. 

Enjoy! :)

ps. I'm sure you could do all kinds of variations of this recipe —vary the kind of cake mix (chocolate,  rainbow, lemon, etc.), chocolate chips (milk, dark, butterscotch), and sprinkles (add them, don't add them, chocolate sprinkles).
