Birthday Cake Cookies

On my way to 100 recipes in 100 days.   Here is recipe 11: Birthday Cake Cookies!

January can get kind of dreary and grey.  It was nice to do some baking and toss in some sprinkles to brighten up our day.

These are a chocolate chip cookie with a twist.  They have not only the usual semi sweet chocolate chips, but also white chocolate chips, sprinkles, and yellow cake mix.

The original recipe only called for one egg but the dough was very very dry.  So, I added a second egg and these turned out perfect.
