Adventures in Pinterest: Funfetti Cake Batter Cookies

When we were invited to Cute Apartment's beau's house for a Breaking Bad premier viewing party, I knew I would bring a dessert.  The idea of something resembling meth popped into my head, but was quickly replaced by these cookies (sprinkles just do it for me, what can I say?) when I saw them on Pinterest.

The original recipe is from Cookin' Cowgirl, so please go check out her site and see some other fantastic recipes!

I gotta be honest and admit that I'm not entirely sure why these are called Funfetti Cake Batter cookies, in that you don't really use Funfetti Cake Mix, but I'm thinking it sounds cute so I'll go with it.

Check out the recipe below, just slightly modified from Cookin' Cowgirl's original creation.

Funfetti Cake Batter Cookies

Yields 2-3 dozen cookies, depending on size

1 box yellow cake mix

1 tsp baking powder

2 eggs

1/2 cup vegetable oil

3/4 tsp vanilla extract

3/4 cup sprinkles

Preheat oven to 350°.

Mix cake mix and baking powder.

In another bowl, beat together eggs, oil and vanilla.  Add this mixture to cake mixture.

Stir in sprinkles, one 1/4 cup at a time. 

Drop in spoonfuls onto lightly greased cookie sheet.

Bake for 8-12 minutes (shorter time produces much softer cookies, bake per your preference!).

Ta-Da!
