Easy 4-Ingredient Colorful Cookies (Print Version)
# Ingredients:
→ Cookie Base
01 -
1 box (15.4oz) yellow or white cake mix
02 -
⅓ cup vegetable oil
03 -
2 large eggs, at room temperature
→ Decoration
04 -
Food coloring of your choice
05 -
½ cup powdered sugar for rolling
# Instructions:
01 -
Heat your oven to 350°F/180°C and get your cookie sheets ready with parchment paper or silicone mats.
02 -
Throw the cake mix, oil, and eggs into a large bowl and mix everything together until well combined. Don't worry if the dough feels super thick and sticky - that's exactly how it should be!
03 -
Split the cookie dough in half and add different food coloring to each portion. Mix well until the color is evenly distributed throughout the dough.
04 -
Using a small cookie scoop (about 1 tablespoon size), scoop out balls of dough. Roll each ball in powdered sugar until well coated, then place them on your prepared cookie sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.
05 -
Pop them in the oven for 10 minutes, then let them cool completely on a wire rack before enjoying!
# Notes:
01 -
These festive crinkle cookies come together in just 30 minutes with only 4 ingredients! The vibrant colors and beautiful cracked tops make them perfect for Christmas or any celebration.
02 -
If your dough seems too sticky or soft (which can happen with some cake mix brands), try adding ¼ to ½ cup of flour to get a better consistency.
03 -
For best results, use Betty Crocker cake mix which typically produces the perfect consistency without needing additional flour.
