These cookies are adorable and perfect for Christmas- in more ways than one!
Not only are they Christmas colored, but they use cake mix to make prep time SUPER quick- perfect for this busy time of year!
–15-ounce box vanilla cake mix
– 2 eggs
– ½ cup vegetable oil
– 2 drops green gel food coloring
– ½ cup red and green M&Ms, plus more for decorating
– ½ cup white chocolate chips, plus more for decorating
CAN YOU USE A DIFFERENT CAKE MIX, LIKE CHOCOLATE CAKE MIX OR GLUTEN-FREE CAKE MIX?Sure! Using a darker colored cake mix like chocolate will definitely make it hard to make the cookies green, but you can still use festive M&M's!
CAN THE KIDS HELP?One of the best parts about holiday baking is doing it with your family- including the kids! There are plenty of steps the kids can help with, like mixing, rolling dough balls, and topping the cookies with candy.
CAN YOU MAKE THESE CHRISTMAS COOKIES WITHOUT FOOD COLORING?
You can skip it if you want, or the blog post links to some made with natural dyes. The M&M's have food coloring but I also linked to some naturally dyed candies!
