We have been enjoying these sprinkle filled cake mix cookies for years. It all started as a last minute birthday treat for my brother-in-law.
They were such a hit, that we started making them all of the time. We have made them for several birthdays and quite a few just because-s.
Our friends lovingly call them everything from birthday cookies to crack cookies, because they just can’t stop eating them.
Luckily they are so quick and easy to make, we can always whip up another batch if needed!

You can add some white chocolate chips if you want to add extra creaminess. Or add some vanilla extract or cake batter flavoring to amp up the flavor.
We almost always make them with either a vanilla cake or a box of cake mix that already has sprinkles in it.
However, you could experiment with different kinds of cake mix. You could make Funfetti strawberry cookies or try making lemon cake mix cookies with sprinkles.
Just be aware that darker colored cake mixes will make it harder to see the sprinkles inside.
We usually eat them as is, but you could add a little powdered sugar glaze if you wanted to. Or really play up the birthday cake angle by piping on a little dollop of buttercream frosting.
Pro Tip: For thick cakey cookies, use just shy of 1/2 cup of oil. For thinner, chewier cookies, add an extra teaspoon or two of oil.
