What Is A Birthday Cake Cookie?

While there is no cake in these cookies, we have taken the flavors of birthday cake and inserted them into these cookies.  Think vanilla and sprinkles, but we also had to throw in some chocolate just because.

Birthday Cake Cooke Q&A

How long to these cookies last?

Cookies last 3-5 days in an airtight container stored at room temperature.

Can I freeze these cookies?

These cookies freeze like a dream! After the cookies have cooled you can store them in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 3 months.

What makes these cookies so moist?

Cookies are moist from the addition of brown sugar.  The molasses in brown sugar retains moisture in cookies.
