Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 box (15.25 ounces/432 grams) strawberry cake mix
- 1/3 cup white cake mix
Wet Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup (113 grams) unsalted butter, at room temperature
- 3 ounces (85 grams) cream cheese, at room temperature
- 2 large eggs
Mix-ins and Toppings:
- 1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips
- 1/3 cup mixed confetti sprinkles
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F and prepare two baking sheets with parchment paper for optimal cookie performance.
- Utilize an electric mixer with paddle attachment to blend butter, cream cheese, and eggs until achieving a smooth, uniform consistency.
- Gently incorporate both cake mixes into the wet ingredients, carefully mixing until just combined. Scrape bowl sides to ensure complete integration.
- Fold chocolate chips into the dough using low-speed mixing. Note the dough’s texture – if excessively sticky, refrigerate for 20 minutes to firm up.
- Portion dough using approximately 4 teaspoons per cookie. Shape into rounds, delicately flatten with fingertips, and garnish with festive confetti sprinkles.
- Transfer cookie-laden sheets into preheated oven, baking for 8-9 minutes. Cookies should appear set but not browned, maintaining a soft, tender interior.
- Allow cookies to rest briefly on baking sheets before transferring to wire cooling racks, enabling gentle cooling and texture stabilization.
Notes
- Ensure butter and cream cheese are at room temperature for smooth, lump-free mixing.
- Avoid overmixing the dough to prevent tough cookies; stop mixing once ingredients are just combined.
- Chill the dough if it feels too soft or sticky, helping cookies maintain shape during baking.
- Try different cake mix flavors like funfetti, vanilla, or strawberry for unique variations.
