‘Tis the season for cookies, am I right?? I am headed to a cookie exchange later this week, so I had to think of a killer cookie to bake (and to bake over four dozen of!!). I knew I wanted to step it up from my sugar cookie recipe, so I opted to make my cake mix cookies – but add a festive twist. I’m going to let you in on a secret: cake mix cookies are the easiest thing. And they taste SO good. London and I crushed candy canes this morning, and added them into the mix, which adds the perfect flavor and texture to these cookies.
What you need:
- 1 box of Chocolate Fudge cake
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 cup of vegetable oil
- approx 8 ounces of crushed candy canes (you can buy this now, but it’s so much more fun to crush on your own!)
What you do:
- Mix the cake mix, eggs, and vegetable oil in a mixing bowl, until a dough is formed.
- Add in the crushed candy cane, and mix well.
- Wrap in plastic and store in the fridge for at least 1 hour.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Roll dough into balls, and bake for 7-9 minutes.
- Enjoy!
I just doubled the recipe to make 4 dozen, and ended up with almost 5 dozen! So. We will be eating like kings for the next few days 😉
If you make these, I’d love to hear how they turned out!
Yum! Thanks for sharing!
You’re welcome!!
Jenna, these look delicious!
Oh man! They are!!
I’m going to make these next week!! They sound amazing!
I made these over the weekend, Jenna! I did buy my candycane mix though haha. They were so good! Thanks for sharing!
SO good!!!
Saving these for next christmas!
YUM!!
SO GOOD!
I love all your recipes!
These are great! I wonder how you get your cookies to be so perfectly round. Mine were irregular around the edges due to the candy canes melting.
