Cake Mix Christmas Cookies

Ingredients:

1 box white or vanilla cake mix
2 large eggs
1/3 cup vegetable oil
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Red and green sprinkles or colored sugar
Optional: White chocolate chips or festive M&M’s
Directions:

Preheat the Oven: Preheat to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.

Make the Dough: In a medium bowl, combine the cake mix, eggs, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract. Stir until a soft dough forms.

Add Mix-Ins: Fold in half of the red and green sprinkles, white chocolate chips, or M&M’s, if desired.

Shape the Cookies: Scoop tablespoon-sized balls of dough and place them about 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheet.

Decorate: Lightly flatten each dough ball and sprinkle extra red and green sprinkles on top for added holiday flair.

Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 9-11 minutes, or until the edges are set and the centers are still soft. The cookies will continue to firm up as they cool.

Cool: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Serve: Once cooled, enjoy these festive treats or package them as holiday gifts for family and friends!
