    Overview: How to Make Cake Batter Chocolate Chip Cookies

    I've made this cookie recipe over 100 times— not an exaggeration. Let's review the steps:

    1. In a large bowl, combine the flour, cake mix, cornstarch, salt, and baking soda together.
    2. Using a hand mixer or stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, beat the butter and sugars together on medium speed until creamy— about 1 minute. Add the egg and egg yolk and mix on high until combined. With the mixer on low, add the dry ingredients, in 1/2 cup increments, to the mixer. Increase speed to medium until just combined. Add the chocolate chips and sprinkles and mix on low until combined.
    3. Leave the dough in the bowl or transfer to a container and cover tightly. Refrigerate the dough for at least 1 hour or up to 3 days. This is a required
    4. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line two large cookie sheets with silicone baking mats. Using a cookie scoop or a Tablespoon, roll about 1.5 Tablespoons into taller, rather than completely round, balls. Place the cookie dough balls onto the baking sheet. It's important to keep the dough that isn't being used yet in the refrigerator.
    5. Bake the cookies for 10-11 minutes until the edges are slightly brown. The centers will appear soft, that's OK, they will continue to set on the baking sheet. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to finish cooling completely.

    This Recipe Requires Dough Chilling

    I know, I KNOW, finding a cookie recipe that requires chilling the dough is frustrating, but there's a reason for it! Letting the dough chill in the refrigerator allows the dough to firm up, helps the flavors develop and makes it easier to handle. Most recipes require some form of chilling— whether it's 1 hour or a up to a few days.

    Cake Batter Chocolate Chip Cookies Success Tips

    Following these tips will ensure you make the best cake batter chocolate chip cookies...ever!

    1. Don't over-bake the cookies. You want to bake them just until the edges get browned— this is around the 10-11 minute mark.
    2. Make sure you refrigerate the dough, especially the dough that is waiting in line to be baked.
    3. Don't overload the cookies with too many sprinkles or chocolate chips. Too many will prevent the dough from coming together.
    4. Roll the cookie dough into taller, rather than completely round, cookie balls. This will help them stay thicker during the baking process.
