Ingredients
- 1 box (15.25 oz) boxed vanilla cake mix
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup holiday sprinkles
- 0.25 cup powdered sugar (optional, for dusting)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the vanilla cake mix, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract. Mix using a wooden spoon or rubber spatula until the dough is well combined and no dry streaks remain.
Step 3
Gently fold in the holiday sprinkles, reserving a small handful for topping if desired.
Step 4
Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, portion out the dough and roll it into 1.5-inch balls. Place them on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Step 5
For a festive touch, press a few extra sprinkles gently onto the top of each cookie dough ball.
Step 6
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set and slightly golden but the centers are still soft. Do not overbake as the cookies will firm up as they cool.
Step 7
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 8
If desired, dust the cooled cookies with powdered sugar for a snow-dusted holiday look!
Step 9
Serve immediately or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
