Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Next, line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a large bowl, combine the cake mix, oil, and eggs, stirring until a dough forms.
Using a cookie scoop, add the dough onto the parchment-lined baking sheet, spacing the dough 2 inches apart.
Then sprinkle some sprinkles on top of each cookie.
Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the cookies are fully cooked. Once done, allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 1-2 minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack.
Notes
If you find that the cookie dough is sticky, gradually add a small amount of flour to the cake mix. This will help firm up the dough and make it easier to handle.
After blending the ingredients, refrigerate the dough for about 30 minutes to an hour. This chilling process solidifies the fats, resulting in cookies with a thicker and chewier texture.
For uniformity in baking and to avoid any peculiar spreading problems, use a cookie scoop when placing the dough on the baking sheet.
