Ingredients
Cookie Base
- 1 box Cake Mix Any flavor can be used to suit preference.
- 2 large Eggs For moisture and binding.
- 1/3 cup Vegetable Oil Ensures a soft, chewy texture.
Decoration
- 1 cup Powdered Sugar For dusting and sweetness.
- 1-2 tbsp Food Coloring Red and blue for a festive touch.
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, combine the cake mix, eggs, and vegetable oil. Stir until fully combined.
- Divide the dough into three equal portions, coloring one red, one blue, and leaving one plain.
Cooking
- Using a tablespoon, scoop the dough and roll it into balls.
- Coat each ball generously in powdered sugar and place on the prepared baking sheet about two inches apart.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until crinkled and the edges are set.
Serving
- Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
- Serve at room temperature or warm for the best experience.
Notes
Use chilled dough to maintain the shape. Store leftovers in an airtight container. For a less sweet coating, substitute granulated sugar for powdered sugar.
