Chocolate Sprinkle Cookies – chocolate cookies from cake mix are super easy to make! Just 3 ingredients to make these thick, chewy, and fudgy cookies. Coated in fun sprinkles for any occasion.
Cookies are the perfect thing to make for just about any event. Christmas? Obviously. But they are great for Valentine’s Day, birthdays, Tuesdays….you name it.
And cookies that just take 3 ingredients to make are even better. Red Velvet M&M Cookies were one of my first attempts at cake mix cookies. And I can’t stop now that I have started. They are just so darn easy to make!

Cake mix cookies obviously start with a cake mix. So you could kind of expect the cookies to turn out cakey, right? Wrong! They are super thick, chewy, and fudgy. And we all know that fudgy brownies are kind of my thing.
And you can mix them up any way you like. Use any flavor cake mix that you want. And mix in whatever you can think of. White cake mix with cherry chips? Go for it! These chocolate sprinkle cookies are just rolled in your favorite sprinkles before baking.

These chocolate cookies are a must for any chocolate lover. Decorate with your favorite sprinkles for whatever event you have going on. Use pink or blue for a baby shower. Pastel colors for Easter. Red, White, and Blue for Memorial Day or the 4th of July. The possibilities for these chocolate cookies are endless!
So the next time you have a craving for chocolate or for cookies, these cake mix cookies are what you should make. Ready in 25 minutes and you have a warm, gooey chocolate cookie! Just have a cake mix in the back of your pantry and you are set!

For St. Patrick’s day or not these cookies are cute and look yummy! I impressed myself this year by making corned beef. It was the most I have ever done for St. Patrick’s day.

Those are so fun–and the green adds a nice hit of color!

The cookies are adorable and look like they would be equally tasty! We just go out and drink Irish Beer, usually Guinness. And act silly. Seems to go hand in hand.

Woohoo!! Cake box cookies. You know love me some of those. 🙂 I haven’t really done anything major for St. Patty’s day either… I made a broccoli and cheddar mac and cheese (green and gold)… but that’s about it. My hubby’s birthday is this weekend… so it’s more about his birthday than St. Patty’s day around here. You went to New Zealand last year.. very cool!
Jennifer @ Peanut Butter and Peppers says
Totally cute! There Irish if there covered in green sprinkles! I just added green food dye or green sprinkles to everythign and it’s considered Irish for this week!

Nami | Just One Cookbook says
How cute! Well me too, my kids are more festive than I am because of school. =P I’ve never used cake mix because I don’t know which brand is good one. From your recipe, it looks like it’s so easy to make!
Erin says
I used Pillsbury, but it really doesn’t matter too much when you are turning it into something else. I like Duncan Hines if I am actually going to make a cake with it.
Stephanie @ Eat. Drink. Love. says
How cute! Love the sprinkles and of course, the chocolate cookie!
Jennifer (Delicieux) says
So cute, and perfect for St Patricks day!

Erin! This is so totally easy! I love recipes like this. I think I may have a box of Devils Food Cake in my pantry! Oh happy day 🙂
Priscilla says
These cookies are perfect for St. Patty’s. I used to do more when my daughter was in school. My husband is Irish and I was planning on making an Irish lamb stew, but we might just end up drinking a Guinness to celebrate 🙂
Alyssa says
Very cute cookies! I like that you did a chocolate version
