Ingredients
Cake Mix Christmas Cookies:

- ½ cup unsalted butter (softened)
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ cup red and green sprinkles or nonpareils
- ½ cup white chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Mix the dough: In a large bowl, combine the cake mix, softened butter, eggs, and vanilla extract. Stir until a thick dough forms.
- Add mix-ins: Fold in the sprinkles and white chocolate chips if using.
- Bake the cookies: Use a cookie scoop or tablespoon to drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 9–11 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers are still soft.
- Cool and enjoy: Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- You can switch up the sprinkles for other holidays or use chocolate cake mix for a richer version.
- For extra flair, press a few additional sprinkles or chips into the tops before baking.
