Ingredients
Scale
- 1 box (15.25 oz) white cake mix
- 2 large eggs
- 1/3 cup vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- Green food coloring
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar, for rolling
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the white cake mix, eggs, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract until a smooth dough forms.
- Add green food coloring to the dough, a few drops at a time, until the desired shade is achieved.
- Place the powdered sugar in a shallow bowl.
- Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, form the dough into balls. Roll each ball in the powdered sugar until fully coated.
- Arrange the coated dough balls on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the cookies have spread and the tops have a crinkled appearance.
- Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- For a minty twist, add 1/2 teaspoon of peppermint extract to the dough.
- Ensure the cookies are completely cool before storing to prevent sticking.
