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!
