Cake Batter Funfetti Chocolate Chip Cookies
Share
That’s a mouth full. I could just call these birthday cookies, especially since my birthday was last week. And of course because sprinkles and birthdays just go hand in hand. But I like the longer name better. It describes the cookies, but not nearly in the depth they should be described.
Remember these incredible NY Times cookies? I adapted them for the cookie brownie bars. Well… I adapted them again because they’re perfection and clearly improving on perfection is necessary. Or that’s what I’m sticking with.
They have the best crunch on the outside, not too hard and not too soft. And even better, the inside stays nice and soft. Best of both worlds. I wanted to change them up to be more festive but still amazingly delicious. So in came cake mix and of course rainbow sprinkles. Completely necessary. Sprinkles, like bacon, just make life better – happier even.
I went a step further and tested these cookies out without the long 24 hour wait, and while I’m sure the flavors would become even stronger sitting longer, a short visit to the fridge is all these need. Just a touch of chill.
What are you waiting for? Go make these!
PS I highly recommend… no, I insist on eating these while still warm.
