Whether you need a super simple cookie recipe for a school treat, a bake sale or just because, these sprinkle cake cookies are always a hit. I’m almost ashamed to admit how easy they are to make, but who says the best things in life have to be difficult?!

Looking for a quick and easy cookie recipe for a class party, bake sale or even a princess tea party? These tasty cake box cookies are so easy to make and can even be customize to your own tastes or even a theme. Bake them together with your kids or they are even easy enough for older kids to make themselves. Sprinkle Cake Cookies. SunshineandHurricanes.com

Sprinkle Cake Cookies are also a great for beginning bakers. My three girls are all interested in baking these days and frequently want to make a treat after school or on the weekend. Since these sprinkle cake cookies only require a few ingredients and the mess is fairly controlled, it’s something I feel good about letting the girls make with no assistance from me….SCORE!!!

Of course, my girls wanted to use a pink cake mix and purple princess sprinkles. Nothing like pink to make my girlies happy and they were perfect for an afternoon princess tea party.

Even if your kids are a little younger and still need your help, these are fairly quick to make and a ton of fun, so it is a way to encourage their interest in learning to cook and bake without too much stress for moms. You can choose a different type of cake mix as well as the add-ins to personalize the cookies or to be consistent with a party theme.

Okay, so here is all you need for your Sprinkle Cake Cookies:

1 box of pink velvet cake mix (or a cake mix of your choice)

1/2 cup vegetable oil

2 eggs

1 tsp vanilla

1 cup of a mix-in of your choice (sprinkles, choc. chips, candy, whatever..)

How to Make Sprinkle Cake Cookies:

Pre-heat the oven to 350 degrees. Combine all the ingredients except the sprinkles or whatever other add-in you’ve chosen.  Once the other ingredients are well mixed, then add in your sprinkles, choc. chips, etc. Drop the dough in large teaspoon full dollops onto a greased cookie sheet and bake for 8 to 10 minutes.

These are so good and no one needs to know they’re made from a box mix! It will be our little secret.

Ever wonder what to say when your child is feeling Ever wonder what to say when your child is feeling left out?  A few years ago, I watched from my park bench as a young mother tried to console her sobbing daughter. “I’m sorry, honey. I don’t blame you for being upset.”  “I don’t know why they won’t let me be in their group for the talent show. They just said they already had enough people and their routine was done and there wasn’t anything they could do about it. I told them I would make a new one up, but they wouldn’t do it.”  I tried to focus on my kindle while occasionally looking for my kids to exit the school door. But as much as I tried not to eavesdrop, I had to admit I was interested to hear how the mom would handle this all-too-common situation of a child feeling left out.  “Well, they’re probably just jealous of you honey, because you are such a good gymnast and they aren’t. They probably don’t want you in their group because you’ll show them up,” the mom stated matter-of-factly. “You should do a solo routine. Or maybe one with Chloe.”  “You think?” the girl replied, her tears slowing down. “You think they’re just jealous of my tumbling?”  “Totally.”  Several minutes passed before my girls came out, but the interaction between the mother and daughter stuck with me for a lot longer.  Maybe the girls were jealous, or maybe they honestly had their routine finished.  To continue reading check the link in bio.
