Cake Mix Cookies

Ingredients

• One 15.25-ounce box yellow cake mix
• 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
• 5 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
• 1/4 cup water
• 2 cups dark chocolate chunks
• 1/4 cup sprinkles (whatever colors you prefer)
• 1 cup stick pretzels, crushed

Steps

1. Heat the oven to 350 degrees. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside.
2. Stir together the cake mix, eggs, butter and water in a large bowl until smooth and combined.
3. Stir in the chocolate and sprinkles until they are completely coated, then gently fold in the pretzels.
4. Scoop the dough onto the lined baking sheet at least 2 inches apart, using a 2-ounce scoop or large spoon.
5. Bake until the cookies start to turn golden brown on top, 8 to 10 minutes, rotating the baking sheets on the shelves halfway through.
6. Cool on wire racks.
