Birthday Cake Chocolate Chip Cookies

Birthdays were always sweet celebrations growing up.  But I like think you don't need to wait for a birthday for a celebration; enter in these cookies.  Birthday Cake Oreo Chocolate Chip Cookies...made with Cake Mix and Birthday Cake Oreos. be.still.my.beating.sugar.crazed.heart.  

I like cake.  I also happen to have a thing for cookies.  So combining the two together is completely earth shattering. 

Start with these little yummies...and have some extra on hand for snacking

 

Break them up and add to the batter...exercise great self control to not nibble at the cookie chunks

Throw some white cake mix into the batter


Along with sprinkles and chocolate chips

Ingredients

1 cup butter, room temperature
1 cup dark brown sugar
2 eggs
2 tsp vanilla
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
1 1/2 cups cake mix
1 1/2 cups flour
1/2 cup sprinkles
2 cups chocolate chips
2 cups chopped Birthday Cake Golden Oreos

1//  Blend butter and sugar together for about a minutes until light and fluffy. Add in eggs and vanilla and beat until smooth

2//  With mixer on low add in baking soda, salt, flour and cake mix, stirring until mixture just comes together

3//  Add in sprinkles, chocolate chips, and chopped Oreos. Mix together until evenly distributed

4//  Preheat oven to 350°

5//  Line baking sheet with parchment paper and form dough into round balls, placing them about 2 inches apart

6//  Bake cookies for 8-10 minutes until edges are slightly golden

7//  Allow to cool on baking sheet for a few minutes (if you can wait that long) and transfer to to a plate where you're set to chow down

8//  Don't forget a cold glass of milk too


Minus the two whole sticks of butter, I cannot imagine making regular chocolate chip cookies again.

Celebrate good times. C'mon.
