cake batter chocolate chip cookies

i'm going to go ahead and say that yall have got to try this recipe. these cookies are so. good.

i love anything with "cake batter" in the name so as soon as i saw them on sally's baking addiction i knew i had to make them. according to michael, they're even better than my usual chocolate chip cookies, which is saying a lot coming from him.

i don't usually eat things that i bake because i much prefer a little bit of the batter to the actual finished product. since these were practically screaming "eat my batter" i kept a little bit in a small tupperware to munch on later and it was so worth any extra calories i added on to my day. i'm not trying to promote eating raw eggs, but it is seriously so good.

recipe:
1 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 1/4 cup yellow cake mix
1/2 tsp baking soda
3/4 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup light brown sugar
1 egg, at room temperature
1.5 tsp vanilla (i used a little more than that)
1/2 cup white chocolate chips
1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips
1/2 cup sprinkles

1. in a large bowl, sift together flour, cake mix and baking soda.

2. in a separate bowl, cream together the butter and both sugars on medium speed. mix in egg and vanilla and mix until uniform.

action shot!

3. add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix just until combined. do not overmix!

4. fold in chocolate chips and sprinkles. [side note: i think chocolate chips and sprinkles are so pretty! that's why there's so many pictures on this step hahaha. i also love this pink egg measuring cup. my mamoo gave it to me as part of a set and they're one of my favorite things in my kitchen!]

5. cover and refrigerate dough for at least 1 hour.

so colorful :)

6. preheat oven to 350.

7. scoop rounded tablespoons of the cold dough onto an ungreased baking sheet. (i always line my baking sheets with parchment just to make clean-up easier). shape dough to be tall rather than round. this helps keep them from spreading out too much.
