Readers LOVE our delicious Snickerdoodle recipe too! Even the most rule-abiding among us need to break the rules sometimes. I admit to not having much of a rebellious streak. The cake mix in this cookie recipe works wonders. It makes them soft, sweet and even easier to make than your average drop cookie. I also love how pretty they look without the mess or hassle of frosting.
This recipe uses a basic white cake mix. Try different cake mixes to change up the flavor. A yellow cake mix would work too if you don’t mind the yellow color as opposed to white. I used Christmas colors for a holiday theme. Use rainbow sprinkles for a funfetti look, red and pink for Valentine’s Day or swap your school’s colors for a graduation party. Try peanut butter chips, white chocolate chips, butterscotch morsels or any other variety of chocolate chip instead to swap out the flavors.
If you’re not feeling the chocolate at all, they can be omitted. I, personally, will never pass up an opportunity to add chocolate to my desserts! Because the white cake mix already has plenty of vanilla flavor, I used almond extract to highlight the taste of the chocolate. You could swap it for more vanilla if you don’t have almond or prefer not to use it. Mix everything together in a bowl, then fold in chocolate chips and sprinkles. Use your cookie scoop to drop balls of the dough onto a baking sheet, flatten them slightly with your hands then add MORE sprinkles and chocolate chips on top. They will look a little under done and doughy but don’t worry.
I like to leave mine on the baking sheet for a couple of minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to continue cooling. Did you notice that this recipe happens to be dairy free?
