Creating Cake Batter Chocolate Chip Cookies is straightforward when following these easy steps:

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. Cream Butter and Sugars: In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.

3. Add Egg and Vanilla: Add the egg and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.

4. Combine Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, and cake mix to ensure an even distribution of dry ingredients.

5. Mix Dry into Wet: Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until fully incorporated.

6. Fold in Chocolate Chips: Gently fold in the mini chocolate chips and rainbow sprinkles (if using) until evenly distributed throughout the dough.

7. Scoop the Dough: Use a cookie scoop or tablespoon to drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, keeping them about two inches apart.

8. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are slightly golden. The centers should still look soft.

9. Cool on Sheet: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

10. Enjoy: Serve the cookies warm or at room temperature for the best flavor and texture.

With these simple steps, you’ll end up with a batch of delightful Cake Batter Chocolate Chip Cookies that are just as fun to make as they are to eat!
