Instructions
PREP OVEN AND BAKING SHEETS:
Move the oven rack to the upper-middle and lower-middle positions. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Line baking sheets with silicone baking mats or parchment paper.
MAKE COOKIE DOUGH:
Mix the cake mix, eggs, and oil in a large bowl until combined and dough forms.
Add the sprinkles and mix well.
Scoop cookie dough with a 1 ½ tablespoon scoop onto the prepared baking sheets.
BAKE AND COOL COOKIES:
Bake for 8-10 minutes or until slightly firm but soft, rotating the pans halfway through baking.
Remove the cookies from the oven and place the baking sheets on wire racks.
Cool for 5 minutes, and then place the cookies on the wire racks to cool completely for about 30 minutes.
MAKE FROSTING:
In a mixing bowl, cream together the butter until fluffy and smooth, about 2 minutes.
Sift the powdered sugar into a medium bowl.
Gradually add powdered sugar to the butter, alternating with heavy cream or milk.
Add vanilla extract and beat well.
TO FINISH:
Once the cookies are cooled, pipe the frosting (or spread it with a knife) onto the cookies, I used a 14-inch piping bag fitted with a 1M piping tip.
Add sprinkles and chocolate kisses. Serve.
