Ingredients

Scale

  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup Christmas sprinkles, plus more for topping

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
  • In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and cake mix until light and fluffy (2-3 minutes with an electric mixer). Scrape down the sides of the bowl.
  • Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract. Combine until just incorporated.
  • Gradually add the flour, mixing until just combined. Gently fold in the sprinkles. Be careful not to overmix.
  • Drop by rounded tablespoons onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches between cookies. Sprinkle additional sprinkles on top. Gently press the cookies down slightly before baking.
  • Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown and the centers are set.
  • Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
