Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, combine the yellow cake mix, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract until just mixed.
  4. Fold in the sprinkles and chocolate chips gently.
  5. Drop spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

Notes

Allow the dough to rest a few minutes after mixing for improved texture. Avoid overmixing to prevent dense cookies. Ensure proper measurements and don't skip parchment paper for non-stick cookies.
