Did you like the my Funfetti Cake Batter Cookies? I will assume you’re nodding your head. These are a spin off of my funfetti cookies but make without any cake mix! I know you will like these cookies, they have a soft center with crispy golden edges – just how I like my cookies. I rolled these cookies a little taller than they were wide to make them a little thicker and chewier. The secret to the cake batter taste without the any cake mix? Butter extract, which can be found in some grocery stores or online here, if you dont have any try using almond extract, its not quite the same but its pretty close. I used the same base as my Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies, but swapped out the semi sweet chocolate chips for a fraction of white chocolate chips and added a a handful of sprinkles. Oh, and we cant forget that we added the butter extract instead of the vanilla – seeing as all the cake batter tastes comes from one small ingredient! And with all those pretty sprinkles, how can you go wrong? Have you started to make these yet? They’re so easy and delicious, I would make them if I were you.
