Ingredients
1boxchocolate cake mix
½cupvegetable oil
2large eggs
1cupsemi-sweet chocolate chips
Chocolate Frosting
1 ½cupspowdered sugar
⅓cupcocoa powder
¼cupmilk
1teaspoonvanilla extract
1teaspoonalmond extract
Candy sprinkles as desired
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F and line a cookie sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking sheet. Alternatively, you could spray it with nonstick cooking spray.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cake mix, vegetable oil, and eggs. Stir until the powdered cake mix is just incorporated. Add the chocolate chips and mix well. Place the dough in the refrigerator for 10-15 minutes.
Use a medium cookie scoop to scoop even-sized cookie dough balls onto the prepared cookie sheet, placing them 2 inches apart. Bake cookies for 8-10 minutes.
Allow cookies to cool fully before frosting.
Make the Frosting
While the cookies cool, mix together powdered sugar, milk, cocoa powder, vanilla extract, and almond extract in another large bowl.
Use an offset spatula to spread the frosting on top of each cookie, then sprinkle the candy sprinkles on top.
Notes
Don’t overbake these cookies! They should be set in the middle but still soft right out of the oven. They will firm up as they cool.
This frosting dries quickly, so I recommend frosting one cookie at a time and adding sprinkles before moving on to the next cookie. Otherwise, your sprinkles won’t stick.
These baked cookies can be stored at room temperature in an airtight container for 2-3 days.
