Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Have 2 cookie sheets ready lined with parchment paper.

1.In a large mixing bowl using a wire whisk, mix together cookie mix and sift in the cocoa powder. This is an important step so you don’t get clumps of cocoa powder.

2.Add in the rest of the ingredients (except the sprinkles or powdered sugar). You can now switch to a wooden spoon or rubber spatula.

3.When all is combined, place in fridge for about 1/2 hour to firm up just a little (its okay if you skip this step). This step makes the batter a little softer and easier to work with

4.Spoon batter onto cookie sheet to make 16 cookies. Sprinkle nonpareils over each cookie. Bake on middle rack of oven one cookie sheet at a time. After 4 minutes turn the cookie sheet around and bake another 4-5 minutes. The cookies will look set. Try not to over bake. 

5.Spoon out 16 more cookies from the dough and repeat step 4.

6.Let cool for about 15 minutes on wire rack.  Enjoy!
