There were two family birthdays to celebrate this week, so I threw together these cookies to send with the usual birthday card. I was trying to achieve that great taste of cake batter with cookies so they would be easier to eat and to ship!
I have been experimenting a lot with cake batter flavors, so I plan to post a few more similarly inspired recipes soon. These cookies are a great start, but the dough is addicting :). How can you resist a cookie dough that tastes like you're licking the bowl of your Kitchen Aid after making a delicious cake?
Birthday Celebration Cookies

1/2 C butter
1/4 C shortening
1/2 C sugar
1/2 C brown sugar
2 eggs
1 t imitation butter flavor
2 t vanilla extract
1 oz pkg vanilla pudding
1 1/2 C flour
1/2 C white cake mix
1/2 t baking soda
1/2 t baking powder
1/2 t salt
2/3 C white chocolate chips
1/4 to 1/3 C sprinkles (any kind you choose!)
Directions:
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Cream together butter and shortening for 1 minute. Add the sugars and beat until fluffy and light in color. Add the eggs, one at a time. Add vanilla and butter flavoring along with the pudding.
Sift together flour, cake mix, baking soda, baking powder and salt. Slowly add the dry ingredients and mix well. Add in the white chocolate chips and sprinkles. Scoop the cookies onto baking sheets and bake for 8-11 minutes or until done. Let them cool on wire racks.
Enjoy your celebration cookies even if it isn't your birthday!
