Description

Delicious Birthday Cake Sugar Cookies that evoke festive celebrations with their sweet flavors and fun sprinkles.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 cups white cake mix
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/4 cups white chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup rainbow sprinkles

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F and prepare your cookie sheets with parchment paper.
  2. Mix dry ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, white cake mix, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
  3. Cream the butter and sugars: Using a handheld or stand mixer with a paddle attachment, beat together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy.
  4. Incorporate eggs and vanilla: Add the eggs and vanilla extract, then scrape down the sides of the bowl to ensure thorough mixing.
  5. Combine dry and wet: With the mixer on low, gradually add your dry mixture to the wet ingredients until well combined.
  6. Fold in chocolate chips and sprinkles: Gently mix in white chocolate chips and sprinkles for that signature birthday cake vibe.
  7. Chill the dough: Chill the dough in the fridge for a minimum of 60 minutes to prevent spreading.
  8. Scoop and shape: Once chilled, scoop out about 1.5 tablespoons of dough and place them evenly on the prepared cookie sheets. Press a few extra white chocolate chips and a sprinkle of rainbow sprinkles on top.
  9. Bake: Place cookies into the preheated oven and bake for about 10 minutes, or until the edges are golden.
  10. Cool: After baking, let the cookies cool on the sheet for 5-10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Serve with vanilla ice cream or alongside a colorful fruit salad for a delightful experience.
