Birthday Cake Chocolate Chip Cookies
Birthday Cake Chocolate Chip Cookies are pretty much a reason to celebrate everyday of the year! These are packed with chocolate, Birthday Cake Oreos AND cake mix. It’s possibly the perfect chocolate chip cookie recipe.
I originally posted this recipe about 3 years ago…and I will tell you they are one of my most favorite cookies to make. They pretty much cover all the dessert-bases. Except Jello. No Jello here.
Anyhow, I was never happy with the pictures that I posted. They just didn’t do these babies justice!
So today I present you the 2016 version on my Birthday Cake Chocolate Chip Cookies…fresh with a few recipe tweaks and bright shiny pictures!
Pure love!
These are super simple, actually.
Start with these delicious Birthday Cake Golden Oreo cookies…
If you don’t have these in your area or can’t find them, totally just use a vanilla sandwich cookie in its place or just regular Golden Oreos.
Chop them up…
Then grab some cake mix. Use white, vanilla…even funfetti!
Your gonna mix that right into your cookie dough.
Along with chocolate chips.
And sprinkles.
Annnnd the chopped cookies.
This cookie dough you guys. It’s SO SO SO good. Like maybe my favorite dough ever.
I literally couldn’t stop eating it.
My original recipe called for chilling the dough, and while you can still TOTALLY do that. I’ve tweaked it a bit so you don’t have to if you don’t want to! Patience has never been my thing!
Scoop out your dough and if you’re feeling fancy press a few chips and sprinkles on top before baking!
No need for a birthday to celebrate! Get you a cookie!
Enjoy!

Shelly they look incredible! I recently made some Funfetti ice cream with those golden oreos and sprinkles and am loving your cookies! The texture looks perfect! Pinned!
Thanks girl!!
Birthday cake oreos?! OMG! These cookies look straight up perfect! So chewy and gooey and delicious!
Ohhh, love the watch!
These look so perfect and soft and chewy. I always under bake my cookies too. It’s a proven fact they taste better that way 🙂
Cake mix AND birthday cake Oreos in cookies? It just got real.
These sound delicious; the funnest cookies ever!
A cookie within a cookie, love it! And uuuuurrrrmagerd, the keyboard guy? That sucks.
I have been trying to find ways to use cake mix instead of flour in recipes lately, I love this! P.S. Undercooked cookies are the best.
Shelly, they are amazing looking! I have never had or even seen the cake batter oreos, but now I need them in my life and these cookies! I swear you make some of the best cookies around!
these are not only super-cute they sound so yummy, I want to reach right out and grab a few!
These cookies are so fun! And I love the use of the Birthday Cake Golden Oreos – I’ll need to get some on my next grocery run. And kudos on the watch – it’s gorgeous!
Ohhhh my gosh these look unreal! Love the sprinkle addition 🙂
Aww now I am way too in love with birthday cake.
Must. buy. more. sprinkles.
These are perfect for celebrating, Shelly. I love that you added Oreo’s!
These look perfect! So soft and moist!
I just perfected my own cake batter chocolate chip cookies and now you go and up the ante with these! I mean, birthday cake oreo cookies in the cookie? How can I compete with that?
These sound PERFECT!!
I had a keyboard in the 5th grade. I went through a HUGE phase…I played it constantly. I would pull the bench that went with my vanity up to it and taught myself Hey Jude. Which incidentally, is the ONLY song I taught myself.
Weird, much?
These are amazing!! So fun!
What a totally adorable cookie!! And yes for the watch…nice!!!
These look absolutely amazing! Birthday cake ranks high up on my favourite flavours list! Love these!
Tried it out. Way too much sugar, kids found it too rich. That shocked the hell out of me. Next back will use 1/2 cup of brown sugar.
Whhooaaaa. I’m dying over these. They look SO good. Like, the perfect texture. And I’m the queen of impatience but chilling the dough is always so so so worth it.
Celebrating the fact that it’s summer is TOTALLY warranted! Love how you combined two birthday treats to make this ULTIMATE celebratory cookie!
I am a fool for Birthday Cake Oreos! These cookies look so delicious and festive!
The birthday cake Oreos are my favorite!! I love cookies within cookies 🙂
These look crazy good!! Tomorrow is my husband’s birthday and he’s a chocolate chip cookie fiend. I think we need to kick it up a notch with these cookies. Tim!
Those cookies are screaming “Paaaaaaaaaaartaaaaaaaay!”
I need to find those Oreo’s and make these soon. They look huge, and sinful, and absolutely perfect!
Little Buddy just discovered these Birthday Cake Oreo cookies a couple of weeks ago – but girl you knocked it out of the park with this cookie creation!!! I can’t wait for another birthday to roll around to try these – Can celebrate just because!!!
I’ve just found my new favorite thing 😉
WOW-zee on those Birthday OREOS!
What!!!!
And!
WHOA!
On that watch!
Happy VACAY!
xo
You are too cute!
See, in my house… the Oreos would have never made it into the cookies. You have such strength and willpower, Shelly! :p
Ooh this is genius! I’d never tried using birthday cake Oreos in cookies before, but it sounds spectacular! Now I kinda want to try birthday cake Oreo-inception cookies! haha
I want to try this cookie dough!
And the cookies!
These look so good! I love sprinkles. Thank you for sharing your recipe.
You should knock on his door and ask if he has a demo recorded so you can listen to it after you go home…I’d love to see the look on his face 🙂
I’d totally listen to nonstop keyboardy jazz for these cookies!!!
These are the cutest cookies ever! Thanks for sharing such a brilliant idea!
Dear Shelly,
These cookies are beautiful. I need them.
Love,
Bridget
PS…my 14-year-old is obsessed with his keyboard. Somewhere this week, he heard the Price is Right theme song. And is playing it over and over (and over). Wanna come visit? 😉
I need to get my hands on those birthday cake oreos, but I`m afraid I will eat the whole bag.
About how many oreos do you use?
2 cups of chopped Oreos…this is about 15 cookies!
Thanks!
I made these today! I let them chill for two hours but probably should have rolled into balls and froze them as they were still. Little runny. Delicious nonetheless!
I just made these, well, the batter anyway, and you are right! Its soooooo good! I keep going back to the fridge to “test’ it, make sure its still ok in there. A+!
Made these last week for the family and making them again tonight for a church function tomorrow. They are delicious. We preferred them without the Oreos (we didn’t think it took away from the cookie to omit the oreos- but mainly it saved us $4.50). Thanks so much for sharing this recipe. We loved them!
I made these a few weeks ago for a cookie exchange and am making them again on Thursday for a good friend’s birthday. They are so, so good! I couldn’t find the Birthday Cake Oreos the first time around so I used the regular Golden Oreos and Funfetti cake mix. I found the BC Oreos at Target today and will be using the Funfetti cake mix again. I think I’ll dip the top of each cookie dough ball in sprinkles before I bake them. You can never have enough sprinkles!
Just made these cookies and they are delicious. You were definitely right they were the best I ever had. Especially the dough! I’m keeping this one and will def be making them often
I made these cookies for my fiancé’s birthday in July and they were amazing! I had no idea that birthday cake Oreos even existed! Everyone loved them so much that I’m going to make another batch this weekend to celebrate my friend’s birthday and my birthday next week.
I just made these for my little brother’s birthday and they turned out beautifully! I cut all the ratios in half and still ended up with 21 cookies that were just the right amount of indulgence. This recipe is a keeper. Thanks for sharing!
I made this dough Sunday night and left it in the fridge until tonight (Wed) when I baked them for my son’s first birthday – seriously good!! I loved them!!! I am not a big chocolate chip fan but my husband loves chocolate so to compromised we didn’t do chocolate chips and used chocolate birthday cake Oreos and had to bake for about 16 minutes. So yummy and a great combo of chewy and crisp!! Thanks for sharing!
Love these cookies! I found this recipe a month or so ago via Pinterest. I made them tonight for the first time. Not only did I discover this delicious crunchy and sweet cookie, I discovered Birthday Cake Oreos. They are a gift for a friend of our family – for his birthday. I’m sure he will love them. Thank you for sharing such a fabulous and yummo recipe!
I made these for my best friend for her birthday. They were DELICIOUS. Everyone loved them. And you were right… that was the best tasting batter ever.
OK… I have tried these cookies FORTEEN times and they haven’t came out correctly? They always come out looking like mini cupcakes…. PLEASE HELP!
Dough is in the fridge. Any ideas on how I can use the leftover funfetti cake mix?
Oh yes, sprinkle 1/3 cup into rice krispie treats and make cake batter krispie treats!
can you mail these cookies?
Hi there!!! Love all your recipes!! Wondering where can I buy hershey melts!!! My supermarket does not carry them!
Amy
Just made a double batch of these bad boys for a bake sale this week. The dough IS delicious and the cookies are amazing. Yes to undercooking, but I still found I had to add a few minutes. Fun fun cookies!

One of my favorite recipes found on Pinterest!! I’ve been making these cookies for about a year. I decided to make a variation using Red Velvet Oreos. Here’s the Pin and credit for your inspiration.

How many cookies does this make?
Dead, just dead. I’m reading this at work and am so tempted to go home “sick” immediately so I can make these. And then I will literally make myself sick from eating all the dough so it won’t be a lie. #winning!
This is so hilarious!! Girl after my own heart!!
I made these a few days ago for a friend’s surprise birthday party and they were seriously addicting, everyone kept saying how amazing they were! Definitely some of the best cookies I have ever had, thanks for the recipe 🙂
Any suggestions if I can’t find the Golden birthday cake Oreos?
You can just sub in regular Golden Oreos!
I used salted butter because it wasn’t specified to be unsalted… did i mess it up?! Lol
