Ingredients

Steps

  • 1
    Heat oven to 350°F.
  • 2
    In large bowl, stir cake mix, sprinkles, melted butter, milk and egg until well blended. On ungreased cookie sheets, drop dough by tablespoonfuls 2 inches apart.
  • 3
    Bake 8 to 10 minutes or until edges of cookies are set. Cool on cookie sheet 2 minutes; remove to cooling rack. Cool completely, about 30 minutes.
  • 4
    For each sandwich cookie, spread generous tablespoonfuls frosting on bottom of 1 cookie. Top with second cookie, bottom side down; gently press together.
  • 5
    Place nonpareils in small bowl, and roll edges of cookies. Store covered in airtight container with waxed paper between layers.

Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1
    Rainbow candy sprinkles are added to the batter and offer a bright, party-like feel. If you don’t have rainbow sprinkles in your pantry, feel free to omit them.
  • tip 2
    Using a cookie scoop makes quick work of portioning out cookie dough so cookies will be the same size and bake the same amount of time.
  • tip 3
    Cookies turn out best when baked one sheet at a time on the middle oven rack.
  • tip 4
    For a special birthday treat, place a birthday candle in center of sandwich cookie.
