All the best to me! Yes, today is my 36th birthday. To celebrate, I made these birthday cake cookies.
You could probably think of these as Funfetti Birthday Cake Cookies as they taste like a classic birthday cake and have lots of sprinkles. lol Preparing is just as much fun as eating!
The key to this is a little chopped white chocolate chips in the batter. Something about it just makes these cookies more cake-like to me.
But if you’re not feeling the sprinkles, here are a few of my other favorite cookie recipes:
These birthday cake cookies are super easy and a great cookie to make ahead of time as the batter needs to chill in the fridge for an hour or up to overnight.
You can also bake some and freeze some of the dough to save for another festive occasion.
Birthdays are a bit different at the moment, but I’ve always felt that to be a January birthday. Snowy days or illness can always thwart plans at this time of year, and in recent years that has been an even greater possibility.
