Ingredients
  

  • 115 g unsalted butter softened, at room temperature
  • 1 box cake mix 375 grams of mix (13.2 oz)
  • 1 large egg at room temperature
  • 60 g white chocolate chunks or chips, plus extra for topping
  • sprinkles for topping, optional

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 350˚F (175˚C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a baking mat.
  2. In a medium mixing bowl or a stand mixer, beat 115 g unsalted butter until light and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes). Add 1 box cake mix and 1 large egg and mix on low speed just until combined. Fold in 60 g white chocolate chunks until evenly distributed.
  3. Scoop out ¼-cup portions of dough onto the baking sheet, leaving 2-3" (5-7.6 cm) between. Press a few extra white chocolate chunks or chips and sprinkles into the top of each cookie if you like.
  4. Bake 12-15 minutes, or until spread and just starting to turn lightly golden brown around the edges. See note 2 if making smaller cookies.
  5. Leave to cool on the sheet for 5-10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  1. You can make around 16 smaller snack-size cookies (perfect for serving at a party) using about 1.5-2 tablespoons of dough per cookie.
  2. Smaller cookies will bake faster, so start checking them at around 8 minutes.
