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.
Then grab some cake mix. Use white, vanilla…even funfetti!
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!

Hi! I’m Shelly and I’m an addict. Of the buttercream sort. I started this site a few years ago as a way to justify my sugary, buttery obsession with desserts. It has worked out well for me so far, because as it turns out you guys all love sugary, buttery desserts too! It feels good to know you're not alone, doesn’t it?

Thanks for sharing! Do they keep long?
I recommend up to 3 days for best freshness 🙂
This looks so good! Can you use different kinds of Oreos for another flavor?
I used salted butter because it wasn’t specified to be unsalted… did i mess it up?! Lol
Any suggestions if I can’t find the Golden birthday cake Oreos?
You can just sub in regular Golden Oreos!
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 🙂
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!!
How many cookies does this make?
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.

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!

Amy

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!
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!
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.
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!
