Cake Mix Christmas Cookies RecipeThis easy and festive recipe uses cake mix as the base, making it quick and simple to prepare Christmas cookies! You can customize them with holiday-themed sprinkles, chocolate chips, or even frosting.
Ingredients:
- 1 box of cake mix (any flavor, such as vanilla, chocolate, or red velvet)
- 1/3 cup vegetable oil
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup Christmas-themed sprinkles (or chocolate chips, chopped candy canes, etc.)
- Optional: 1 tsp vanilla extract for extra flavor
Directions:
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
- Mix the Dough: In a large bowl, combine the cake mix, vegetable oil, and eggs. If you’d like, add vanilla extract. Stir until everything is well incorporated.
- Add Fun Mix-ins: Fold in your sprinkles or any other mix-ins you prefer (chocolate chips, mini marshmallows, chopped candy canes, etc.).
- Form the Cookies: Roll the dough into small balls (about 1 to 1.5 inches in diameter) and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Space them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake: Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until they are lightly golden around the edges. The cookies may seem soft, but they will firm up as they cool.
- Cool: Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Enjoy: Once cooled, enjoy these festive, soft, and delicious cake mix Christmas cookies! You can also add a little frosting or extra sprinkles if desired.
Tips:
- Customize: Use different flavored cake mixes to create unique cookies (chocolate, red velvet, lemon, etc.).

- Storage: Store these cookies in an airtight container for up to a week.
