Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 box yellow cake mix
- 1 cup chocolate chips
- 1/4 cup sprinkles (optional)
Wet Ingredients
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup melted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For Decorating (Optional)
- 1/2 cup frosting
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease or line a 9-inch round cake pan with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy removal of the cookie cake.
- Mix Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the yellow cake mix, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract. Stir until a thick dough forms, ensuring all ingredients are fully incorporated.
- Add Mix-Ins: Gently fold in the chocolate chips and sprinkles, if using, distributing them evenly throughout the dough.
- Shape the Dough: Press the cookie dough evenly into the prepared cake pan, smoothing the top to form an even layer for consistent baking.
- Bake: Place the pan in the oven and bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the edges turn golden brown and the center is set. Test doneness by inserting a toothpick in the center; it should come out with a few moist crumbs.
- Cool: Allow the cookie cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely, preventing breakage and ensuring it sets properly.
- Decorate and Serve: Once cooled, decorate the edges with frosting and add more sprinkles as desired. Slice into wedges and serve your delicious cookie cake.
Notes
- You can use any flavor of cake mix you prefer, such as chocolate or funfetti, to customize your cookie cake.
- Be careful not to overbake as the cookie cake can dry out; the center should remain slightly soft.
- Frosting and sprinkles are optional but add a festive touch perfect for celebrations.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
- For a richer taste, substitute butter with an equal amount of melted coconut oil.
