Ingredients
Scale
- 1 box white cake mix
- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/3 cup vegetable oil
- Red and green food coloring gel (optional)
- 1/3 cup powdered sugar
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with a silicone baking mat or parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, mix together the eggs, vegetable oil, vanilla extract, and cake mix until well combined.
- (Optional) Divide the dough into two equal portions and place each portion in a small bowl. Add red food coloring to one bowl and green food coloring to the other. Stir each until the colors are fully incorporated into the dough.
- Refrigerate the dough for at least 30 minutes to make it easier to handle and ensure fluffier cookies.
- Use a tablespoon-sized cookie scoop to measure out the dough. Roll each dough ball in powdered sugar and place on the prepared baking sheet. *If the dough is too sticky, add about one tablespoon of flour to the dough and mix it in.
- Bake for 9-11 minutes at 375°F (190°C), until the cookies are lightly golden around the edges.
- Allow the cookies to cool for a minute or two on the baking sheet before transferring them to a cooling rack.
Notes
- The optional food coloring gives the cookies a festive red and green look, perfect for holiday gatherings. Feel free to skip this step for a more classic look.
- If the dough is too sticky after mixing, adding a tablespoon of flour can help make it more manageable.
- Refrigerating the dough before baking will help the cookies maintain their shape and give them a chewy texture.
