Things are finally beginning to wind down. Did I tell you that we found an apartment up north? My DB and I took a trip a couple of weeks ago to find a place to stay and I was getting a little worried looking at the open houses. College students sure live… like college students. Just about when I had almost given up hope, we walked into a beautiful, completely remodeled apartment in a homey, cabin-like building that’s conveniently located right next to the school— perfect for the both of us! My DB and I both knew the moment we stepped foot into the living room that this was it. We filled out the application, put the deposit down, and walked away with peace of mind.
Well, that was a couple of weeks ago and I’ll actually be moving everything up this Friday! We’ll be getting away from “carmageddon” with the 405 being closed this weekend. I’m not sure how I feel about the 6 hour drive in a U-Haul truck, but you do what you gotta do.
I was on a cake mix frenzy after making these and still had 3/4 of a box of batter to use. Lucky for me, I stumbled across this recipe from Stephanie Cooks. I loved the idea of replacing some flour with cake mix to make cookies and was intrigued if the cookie still held the funfetti flavor. Sure enough, the cookies still tasted like the cake batter… Just what I wanted! The only thing is that they turned out a bit flat. Perhaps increasing the baking soda and adding a pinch of baking powder would do the trick. I baked half the batch without chocolate chips and the other half with chocolate chips.
Ingredients:
- 3/4 cup flour
- 1 1/4 cup funfetti cake mix
- 1/4 tsp. baking soda
- 3/4 cup softened butter
- 1 egg
- 1 egg yolk
- 2 tsp. vanilla
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1 cup chocolate chips
Directions:
- Cream together the butter and sugars. Mix in the egg yolk, egg, and vanilla until creamy.
- Add in the flour, cake mix, and baking soda.
- Stir in the chocolate chips.
- Refrigerate for at least an hour.
- Preheat oven to 350.
- Scoop heaping tablespoons of dough onto cookie sheets.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, until the edges are golden.

I’m lazy and not reluctant to admit it. I saw “cake batter” and immediately thought of this recipe. So greasy and chocolatey and yummy. It has been a hit every time I’ve made it, and my friends demand I make it sometimes 🙂 And with only 3 ingredients, 4 if you add chocolate chips, it is really really easy. Cheers!
I adore cake batter! These cookies are so pretty too! I added them to my Funfetti/cake batter recipe roundup
my favorite ice craem flavor, I must try this cookie.
I bet these taste great! I love anything cake batter flavored!
Sometimes coming to your site is painful for me because everything looks so delicious and I want to eat EVERYTHING!!!
Berkeley is a great city – after you get past the grunginess it’s a city you’ll learn to love (I lived right on Durant and Telegraph for two years). Make sure you try Nabolom Bakery on college and ashby!! (Cinnamon twists there are awesome)
I can’t wait to try these. I think I’m going to put some vanilla buttercream in the middle of two cookies for a Cake Batter Sandwich 🙂
I used white chocolate chips and it was awesome. I also did not put the dough in the fridge for an hour. They still turned out great.
These were amazing! I hope you don’t mind that I blogged about them… I made a few minor changes, but I gave you credit and a link. It’s the least you deserve because these cookies are delicious and slightly addicting!

Do you think these cookies would work with cookie cutters? Thanks, they look delicious!
We didn’t put them in the fridge for an hour and they exploded in my oven, it caused my whole house to burn down
