Easy Christmas Cake Mix Cookies
I'm all about semi-homemade cooking and this easy recipe cuts corners with a boxed cake mix which is great when you are baking with kids. You can switch these up for any holiday by just switching out the sprinkles!
Servings 24 cookies
Ingredients
- 8 ounces cream cheese softened
- 1 cup unsalted butter softened
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon McCormick® Pure Vanilla Extract
- 1 box vanilla cake mix
- 1 cup sprinkles
Instructions
- Whisk together cream cheese and butter until light and fluffy. Add egg, vanilla, and cake mix and stir until it is well combined. Cover bowl and refrigerate for 20 minutes.
- While the dough is in the refrigerator, preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Pour half of your sprinkles onto a flat plate. After your dough has chilled use a cookie scoop to make 1 inch balls of dough. This mixture is pretty sticky so I have found the best method is to scoop your ball directly onto the plate of sprinkles and then roll it around carefully to coat it with the sprinkles. Place on a lined cookie sheet. Warning, this part is messy.
- Bake cookies for 12-14 minutes. Cool and enjoy!
