Cupcake Cookies

Feb 4th, 2013 by admin

Good Monday morning!

Monday is always that day that I refuse to admit is going to arrive. I love the weekend. Like a lot.

Thankfully, this weekend was able to end with some football and good food! And, don’t let me forget some great commercials.

I think that my favorite commercial was the M&M commercial where the red M&M was singing Meatloaf’s “I Would Do Anything for Love (But I Won’t Do That)”. It was seriously hilarious!

As I was getting our football spread ready, I knew I needed to make something yummy for the girls for dessert! I’ve been seeing recipes all over Pinterest for cake batter cookies, so I decided to give it a try.

These cookies did not disappoint and my five year old declared that they taste like a cupccake!

Cupcake Cookies (adapted from here)

-1 box vanilla cake mix

-1.5 teaspoons baking powder

-2 eggs

-1/2 teaspoon vanilla

-1/2 cup vegetable oil

-1 cup sprinkles

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.

In a bowl, mix cake mix and baking powder. Add eggs, vanilla, and oil. Mix well. Then, add in the sprinkles. Mix.

Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop cookie dough onto a parchment lined or greased cookie sheet.

Bake for 10 minutes. Cookies will be soft. Allow them to rest for 5 minutes on the cookie sheet before transferring them to a wire rack for cooling.

Allow them to cool and enjoy!

My five year old is completely right…they taste like a cupcake in cookie form!

I’ll also be making cookies from cake mixes again…I never thought that this would work. It did. And they were so stinkin’ good!

And, to make your Monday a little bit better, I have a giveaway for you!
