Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 box yellow cake mix (or any preferred flavor)
- 1/2 cup softened butter
- 8 ounces softened cream cheese
- 1 egg
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Coating
- Powdered sugar (for rolling)
- Holiday sprinkles (for rolling)
Instructions
- Prepare the Dough: Beat together the softened butter, vanilla extract, egg, and softened cream cheese in a large bowl until the mixture is fluffy and well combined.
- Incorporate Cake Mix: Add the entire box of cake mix into the bowl and blend thoroughly until fully mixed and a dough forms.
- Chill the Dough: Cover the dough and refrigerate for 1 hour to firm up, making it easier to roll.
- Form Cookie Balls: Roll the chilled dough into balls. Then dip each ball into holiday sprinkles, followed by rolling them in powdered sugar until fully coated.
- Bake the Cookies: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Place the coated cookie balls on a baking sheet and bake for 12 minutes, or until the edges begin to turn lightly brown.
- Cool and Serve: Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on a wire rack for 5 minutes before serving.
Notes
- Ensure butter and cream cheese are softened to room temperature for easy mixing.
- Chilling the dough helps prevent spreading during baking.
- Use any cake mix flavor to customize the flavor of the cookies.
- For extra festive look, press additional sprinkles lightly on top before baking.
- Store cookies in an airtight container to maintain freshness for up to a week.
