Notes
Sprinkles Tip
Use rainbow jimmies (the longer skinny tube shaped sprinkles.) Other types of sprinkles like the round sprinkles or the colored sugar will often bleed into the cookie dough, and are better for using on top of desserts.
Cake Mix Tip
This recipe was developed with a 15.25 ounce cake mix. Some of the cake mix brands have been decreasing the size to 13.25 ounces. If you use only 13.25 ounces of cake mix the recipe may not be as successful so check the box carefully.
