Cake Batter Funfetti Chocolate Chip Cookies: These homemade cake batter chocolate chip cookies are made 100% from scratch and all dressed up for Halloween! These classic chocolate chip cookies have a little something extra in them to give them that cake batter cookie flavor that’s out of this world good!
I’ve been all about the combos lately. Chocolate and peanut butter. Pumpkin and chocolate. Caramel and apples. Cake and cookies.
Cake and cookies? Oh yeah.
You know what I’m talking about: Cake. Batter. Cookies.
Ohhhhhh. Yeahhhhh. Ferris Bueller style.
I have made cake batter blondies and cake batter cookies out of entirely cake batter mix, but I have never made 100% homemade cake batter cookies.
And it is perhaps one of the best flavors on this planet.
And then, because it’s fall and Halloween is just around the corner, I Funfetti-ed these cookies up with black, orange, and pumpkin sprinkles. Is there anything better than funfetti?
That’s a rhetorical question. 🙂
Cookies are my thing. They’re chewy, sugary but not overtly so, and just so so classically good.
Plus, cookies can usually be made in 45 minutes or so, start to finish. Aaaand who doesn’t love that they can have a warm, gooey cookie in their mouth in under an hour?!
I’m telling ya, the smell of freshly baked cookies wafting through the kitchen is better than any candle. Even those amazing cinnamon ones that smell like Christmas in a jar.
It’s the little things that make these cookies as spectacular as they are.
It’s the things like sprinkles (seriously, who doesn’t love the cuteness of sprinkles, especially these Halloween ones with adorable pumpkin faces??) and double the chips, chocolate that is.
It’s a little bit of butter extract to add an extra layer of buttery goodness to these cookies, totally reminiscent of cake batter.
It’s these things that make these cookies ridiculous.
Ridiculous. . . ly awesome.
