Yes, I know…it’s not even Thanksgiving yet. But this Cake Mix Christmas Sugar Cookies Recipe is just too much fun not to share RIGHT NOW! I love doing cookie exchanges, especially the Great Food Blogger Cookie Swap each year. There’s just something so fun about doing a cookie swap, sharing your baking with friends and family – and sometimes strangers too – that I get super excited about it each Christmas.
If you want to participate in a cookie swap but aren’t very crafty when it comes to baking, then this Cake Mix Christmas Sugar Cookies Recipe is going to be just perfect for you! It’s super easy and the results are pretty fantastic!
Cake Mix Christmas Sugar Cookies Recipe
Ingredients:
- 1 box of white cake mix, any brand.
- 2 large egg whites
- 1/3 cup of vegetable oil
- frosting
- Christmas colored sprinkles
Directions:
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
Combine the cake mix, egg whites and oil, mixing well.
Roll the cookie dough into 2″ balls, placing about 2-3 inches apart on a cookie sheet.
Using the bottom of a glass, gently press the cookie dough balls down to about 1/4 in thickness.
Bake 8-10 minutes, being careful not to overbake. If you don’t have a kitchen timer, I highly recommend one!
Allow the cookies to cool on cooling racks, or simply set aside for about 10 mins. Once cooled, generously frost and sprinkle to your heart’s content!
