Description
These cookies, which I’ll call “Easy St. Patrick’s Day Cookies,” are a simple yet festive treat perfect for celebrating the holiday
Ingredients
- 1 box (15.25 oz) white cake mix (about 3 cups)
- 2 large eggs
- ⅓ cup vegetable oil
- ¼ teaspoon Kelly green gel food coloring
- 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 6 tablespoons powdered sugar
Instructions
-
Combine Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the white cake mix, eggs, and vegetable oil.
-
Mix Dough: Stir together until a sticky dough forms.
-
Add Food Coloring: Add the Kelly green gel food coloring and mix until evenly combined, creating a vibrant green dough.
-
Chill Dough: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and chill the dough in the refrigerator for 30 minutes. This makes the dough easier to handle.
-
Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
-
Prepare Sugars: Place the granulated sugar in one small bowl and the powdered sugar in another small bowl.
-
Portion Dough: Use a tablespoon-sized cookie scoop to portion out the dough.
-
Roll into Balls: Roll each scoop of dough into a ball between your hands.
-
Coat in Sugars: Roll each dough ball in the granulated sugar until fully coated, then roll it in the powdered sugar until completely covered.
-
Place on Baking Sheet: Place the coated cookie dough balls on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
-
Bake: Bake for 9-12 minutes, or until the cookies have spread slightly and the tops are crackled.
-
Cool: Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes. Then, transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
-
Store: Store the cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days, or freeze for longer storage.
