Ingredients
- 1 box white cake mix
- 2 large eggs
- ½ cup vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon green gel food coloring
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- ¼ cup powdered sugar
Instructions
Prepare the Dough:
- In a large bowl, mix cake mix, eggs, and vegetable oil until a dough forms.
- Add green food coloring and mix until evenly combined.
Chill the Dough:
- Cover the bowl and refrigerate for 30 minutes to firm up the dough.
Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Form the Cookies:
- Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough and roll into balls.
- Roll each ball in granulated sugar, then in powdered sugar for a crackled look.
- Place on the baking sheet, spacing them 2 inches apart.
Bake the Cookies:
- Bake for 9-12 minutes, until edges are lightly golden.
- Cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.
Notes
- Use different colors for various holidays or events.
- For a citrus twist, add lemon zest or swap the vanilla cake mix for lemon.
- For a minty version, add ½ teaspoon peppermint extract.
- Chilling the dough prevents excessive spreading.
