Birthday Cake Mix Cookies
These super easy-to-make Birthday Cake Mix Cookies taste and look just like the yummy classic yellow cake and chocolate frosting Birthday Cake that everybody loves.
Ingredients
Yellow Cake Mix Cookies
- 2 boxes Yellow Cake Mix
- 2 boxes Vanilla Pudding Mix (3.4 oz.)
- 1 cup Melted Butter (Sweet Cream, Salted)
- 4 Large Eggs
- 1/3 cup Jimmies Sprinkles
Chocolate Buttercream Frosting
- 1 cup Butter, softened (we use Salted, Sweet Cream Butter)
- 4 cups Powdered Sugar
- ¾ cup Cocoa Powder
- 2-3 teaspoons Vanilla Extract
- 1-2 tablespoons Milk
Instructions
- Add the packages of cake mix, the packages of vanilla pudding mix, the melted butter, and the eggs to a mixing bowl.
- Mix on medium speed just until the ingredients are combined.
- Add the sprinkles, mix quickly only enough to disperse the sprinkles throughout the cookie dough, you don't want to overmix this dough.
- Refrigerate the dough overnight or for at least one hour.
- Using an ice cream scooper (ours measures approximately 2.5 oz of cookie dough), scoop out the cold cookie dough and place it on a prepared cookie sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Bake the cookies in an oven preheated to 350 degrees for 12-13 minutes. The cookies are done when they are just slightly brown along the bottom edges of the cookie. (You don't want the cookies to brown too much on the top.)
- While the Cake Batter Cookies are cooling, make a batch of our delicious homemade Chocolate Buttercream Frosting. You will find all the detailed instructions and tips for making this yummy frosting right here.
- Frost the Cake Mix Cookies with the chocolate frost, just as you would a yellow birthday cake. For a little extra razzle-dazzle, add more sprinkles around the edge of the chocolate frosting.
Notes
Storage/Freezing Instructions
Cookies should always be stored in an airtight container. They should be completely cooled before storing them. Because these are frosted cookies, we usually add a layer of parchment paper between each row of cookies in our plastic container. Cookies stored at room temperature should stay fresh for 3-4 days. You can also keep them in the refrigerator and that extends their freshness for up to a week. If you need them to last longer, you can freeze them for up to 3 months. You can pull them out of the freezer and leave them on the counter for 1 hour and they will be ready to eat.
