Cake Batter Chocolate Chip Cookies

[smlewis00]

My sister made amazing cake batter chocolate chip cookies! I thought they were absolutely wonderful! She made them for all of the teachers at her daughter's school. Have you ever had them before or made them? They are fantastic! Very sweet! But very tastey!
Here's her recipe:
Ingredients:
1 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 1/4 cup yellow or white boxed cake mix
1/2 tsp baking soda
3/4 cup unsalted butter (roughly 1.5 sticks) softend
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 egg
1.5 tsp vanilla
1 cup chocolate chips (you can use white, milk, or dark chocolate)
1/2 cup sprinkles
Directions:
Mix all ingredients really well. Place on cookie sheets at 375 and bake for 12-15 minutes.
Enjoy!
These cookies are colorful and taste delicious!

Interesting how you can convert a cake into a cookie. This night be interesting to try different cake mixes in order to make different cookies: I'm thinking lemon, strawberry, red velvet, carrot. Seems like a lot of ingredients are needed in order to do the conversion; do you think it would be easier just to make cookie dough from scratch?

Thanks for that recipe! That sounds yum and definitely quite creative! Never thought of using a cake mix for cookies, but it would be worth a try. When I try this out, I would probably add M&Ms for a colorful finish. Let's see!

I like this idea. It is great for when you need a short cut. This prefect for someone who want to bake for scratch and does not kow where to start.
