Description
Festive cookies with vibrant red and green colors, soft and chewy with a delightful crinkled appearance.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 box white cake mix (13.25 oz)
- 2 large eggs
- 1/3 cup vegetable oil
- 1/3 cup powdered sugar (for coating)
- Red and green gel food coloring
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the white cake mix, eggs, and vegetable oil.
- Mix until a smooth, thick dough forms.
- Split the dough into two equal portions.
- In separate bowls, color one batch red and the other green with gel food coloring.
- Mix well until colors are vibrant and even.
- Cover bowls with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes to firm the dough.
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
- Scoop 1 tablespoon portions and roll into balls.
- Roll each ball generously in powdered sugar until fully coated.
- Arrange dough balls 2 inches apart on the baking sheet.
- Bake for 9-11 minutes until cookies are crinkled and set around the edges. Do not overbake – centers should remain soft.
- Let cookies rest for 2-3 minutes on the baking sheet.
- Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before serving or storing.

Feel free to add chocolate chips or chopped nuts for extra flavor. Store in an airtight container for up to one week.
