Instructions
In a large bowl sift together flour, cake mix, baking soda and salt. Set aside.
Cream butter and both sugars on medium speed until smooth. Add egg and mix on high about 1 minute. Scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl as needed. Next add the vanilla and beat on high until combined. Then add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients and mix on low-medium speed until just combined. Finally, add the chocolate chips and sprinkles, mix on low until add-ins are evenly disbursed.
Chill 2 hours or up to 3-4 days. If chilling more than 2 hours, roll into balls on plate, then cover and refrigerate until ready to bake.
Preheat oven to 350 F. Roll into balls using 1 ½ tbsp of cookie dough per ball. Shape into taller than wide cone shape.
Bake 10 to 12 minutes. Press more chips into tops as soon as you take out of the oven. Cool on baking sheets 4 minutes then transfer to wire rack.
Recipe Notes
Fold in the chips and sprinkles instead of using the mixer, if your mixer is too strong it may break the chips or sprinkles. I was unable to form the dough balls into a cone shape; the dough would not keep that shape. So I just used dough balls, my cookies came out a little flatter than the original recipe, but they still tasted great!
