One of my favorite things to do over the 4th of July holiday is bake. I know that may seem a little silly, after all, who wants to bake in the middle of summer. But, I find it so relaxing, and I love sharing my tasty creations at our evening BBQ’s with my family and friends. For this past Independence Day, I made Sprinkle Cookies made from a mixture of cake batter and sprinkles. Everyone said they were a delicious cross between wedding cake and sugar cookies. Yum!
Makes 20-25 cookies
Ingredients:
1 box French Vanilla cake mix, (Any 15.25 to 18.25 ounces box mix will work)
1 teaspoon baking powder
2 eggs
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1/1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3/4 cup sprinkles (feel free to mix up colors for the holidays)
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. In a large bowl, mix together french vanilla cake mix, baking powder, eggs, oil, vanilla, and sprinkles. Stir till mixture forms dough.
3. Drop dough mixture by spoonfuls onto a cookie sheet leaving room between each drop of cookie batter.
4. Bake for 10 minutes. Allow cookies to cool for 5 minutes on cookie sheet before transferring them to a plate or cooling rack. The cookies will be very soft and chewy.
