Description
This Birthday Cake Cookies Recipe is quick and easy to make made with cake mix, buttercream frosting, sprinkles, and birthday cake chocolate kisses. These cookies are fun, chewy and delicious and certainly a new way to celebrate!
Ingredients
- 1 box (15.25 oz) funfetti cake mix
- 2 large eggs, room temperature
- ½ cup oil, vegetable or canola
- ¼ cup sprinkles plus more for garnish
- 1 bag (10 oz) birthday cake chocolate kisses
Frosting, optional
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
- 4 cups powdered sugar
- 1–2 tablespoons heavy whipping cream or milk
- 1 teaspoon clear vanilla extract ** see notes
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F
- Line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mat
- In a large bowl, mix together the cake mix, eggs and oil until completely combined
- Stir in sprinkles and combine well
- Scoop with cookie dough scoop or tablespoon onto prepared baking sheet
- Bake for 8-10 minutes or until slightly firm but soft
- Remove from oven and place baking sheet on wire rack
- If adding chocolate kisses, add immediately
- Or cool cookies completely, then add frosting, sprinkles and chocolate kisses
- Store in airtight container
Frosting
- In a mixing bowl, cream butter until fluffy and smooth
- Sift powdered sugar into a medium bowl – this step is optional, although it makes the frosting smooth and easier to mix
- Gradually add powdered sugar, alternating with heavy cream or milk
- Add vanilla extract and beat well
Notes
For the frosting, I used clear vanilla extract to keep the frosting nice and white. Regular vanilla extract can also be used if that’s what you have on hand.
