MAKE CAKE MIX RECIPES

Steps:

• Beat butter until creamy. Beat in cocoa, mixing until combined. Stir espresso into vanilla extract then mix into the cocoa/butter mixture. Scrape down sides and bottom of bowl. Add powdered sugar, 1 cup at a time, alternating with milk. Beat each time until combined, scraping down the bowl as needed. Once all of the milk and sugar has been added, increase mixer speed and beat until fluffy. Add more sugar or milk as needed for consistency.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350˚. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Whisk the cake mix and baking powder in a large bowl to get rid of any lumps. Add the eggs, vegetable oil and vanilla and mix well to combine. Cover and refrigerate until the dough just begins to firm up, about 30 minutes. Spread the sprinkles in a shallow bowl. Scoop and roll the dough into balls (about 2 tablespoons each), then roll the balls in the sprinkles. Place on the baking sheets, about 2 inches apart. Bake until the tops of the cookies are slightly puffed and cracked and the edges are set, 10 to 12 minutes. Let cool 5 minutes on the baking sheets, then remove to racks to cool completely.
