Ingredients
Instructions
Step 1
1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
Step 2
2. Mix the Batter: In a large mixing bowl, combine the white cake mix, eggs, vanilla extract, and vegetable oil. Stir until fully incorporated and a thick batter forms.
Step 3
3. Divide the Batter: Divide the batter in half, placing one half in a separate bowl.
Step 4
4. Color the Batter: Add the red food coloring gel to one bowl and green food coloring gel to the other. Stir until the colors are evenly mixed throughout each batter.
Step 5
5. Chill the Dough: Cover both bowls with plastic wrap and refrigerate for about 10 minutes to firm up the dough slightly.
Step 6
6. Form the Cookies: Using a tablespoon, scoop out small portions of the red and green dough. Roll each piece into a ball and then roll in the powdered sugar until fully coated.
Step 7
7. Arrange on Baking Sheets: Place the powdered sugar-coated balls on the prepared baking sheets, making sure to leave space between them as they will spread.
Step 8
8. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are set and the tops are slightly crinkled. They should look soft in the center.
Step 9
9. Cool: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
