In this thread, we share our favorite Christmas cookie recipes:
Easy Cake Mix Cookies
INGREDIENTS:- 18 oz. pkg. cake mix (any flavor)
- 1/2 cup butter, softened
- 2 eggs
PREPARATION:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a large bowl, combine all ingredients at low speed until dry ingredients are moistened and dough is thoroughly mixed. Drop dough by rounded tablespoonfuls 2" apart onto ungreased cookie sheets.
Bake at 350 for 9-12 minutes. Cool two minutes on cookie sheets, then remove to wire racks to cool..
If using chocolate cake mix, add 2 Tbsp. water along with egg. You can stir in chocolate chips, coated candy pieces, chopped nuts, or oatmeal. Frost the cookies, using canned frosting, or make sandwich cookies by spreading frosting between two cookies.
For Christmas, I like to use a chocolate cake mix and throw in mint chips.
