How to Make Easy Christmas Cookies
#1. Mix cake mix, oil, eggs, and vanilla in a bowl.
#2. The dough will be stiff but continue to mix until well blended. Refrigerate for 30 minutes.
#3. Preheat oven to 350 and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
#4. Shape dough into tablespoon-size dough balls, I use a 1-tablespoon portion scoop and dip into sprinkles. Use a spoon to toss the dough in the sprinkles and coat all sides.
#5. Place dough onto the prepared baking sheet, 2″ apart. Bake for 9-11 minutes or until centers are set. Let cool completely.
#6. Place 1/2 cup white chocolate or candy melts into a microwave-safe container and microwave according to package directions.
#7. Place melted chocolate into a baggie, snip the corner, and pipe white trees onto half the cookies.
#8. Refrigerate for 15 minutes or until chocolate is firm. Enjoy!
