Ingredients

  • 1 white cake mix
  • 1 cup of powdered sugar may need more or less
  • 8 ounces of cool whip
  • 1 egg lightly beaten
  • 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
  • Red and Green food coloring

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a small bowl add powdered sugar and set aside for later.
  • In a bowl, combine, cake mix, cool whip, egg and vanilla. The dough will be sticky. Separate dough in half and put in separate bowls. Add food coloring until it is the desired color.
  • Use a small cookie scoop or spoon to make balls of dough and roll in powdered sugar. Place on baking sheet, keeping cookies 2 inches apart, they will spread.
  • Cook for 12-15 minutes until cookies are set, they will still be soft in the center. Let cool for about 4-5 minutes remove from baking sheet and put on plate or wire rack.

Notes

I found if I let the dough sit for a bit or chill for 20-30 minutes, it becomes more manageable and not as sticky.
