Ingredients
Scale
Cookie Dough
- 1 box (15.25 oz) vanilla cake mix
- 2 large eggs
- ½ cup vegetable oil
Topping
- Christmas sprinkles, as desired
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and allow it to fully preheat while you prepare the cookie dough.
- Mix Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the vanilla cake mix, eggs, and vegetable oil. Stir well until the dough is smooth and all ingredients are fully incorporated.
- Form Cookies: Using a spoon or cookie scoop, drop evenly sized portions of the dough onto a prepared baking sheet, spacing them evenly to allow for spreading.
- Add Sprinkles: Generously sprinkle Christmas sprinkles on top of each cookie dough mound to add a festive touch and extra sweetness.
- Bake Cookies: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 9 to 11 minutes. The cookies should be set but still soft for a chewy texture.
- Cool and Serve: Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy once cooled.
Notes
- You can swap the vanilla cake mix for any other flavor to customize your cookies.
- For added texture, consider mixing in chocolate chips or nuts into the dough.
- Do not overbake; cookies will firm up as they cool, ensuring a soft and chewy texture.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
- For a gluten-free option, use a gluten-free cake mix.
