Cake Batter Christmas Cookies
It’s time for another Mini Chef Mondays recipe! These Cake Batter Christmas Cookies are so easy for little hands to whip up in no time.
My kids (and husband) just love these easy to make cookies! Using a box of cake mix adds a delicious vanilla flavor! I think we will mix it up next time though and make them with chocolate cake mix!
Ingredients:
- 1 box of Vanilla Cake Mix
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- Anywhere from 1/2 cup to 3/4 cup of sprinkles!
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees
- Mix cake & baking powder,
- Add in eggs, vanilla, oil; mix,
- Add in sprinkles and mix,
- Drop around 1 tablespoon of batter onto a parchment paper lined cookie sheet.
- Bake 10 minutes.
- Let cool for a minute or so and then transfer to a wire cooling rack.

Cake batter is my daughter’s favorite ice cream flavor so I think she’ll like these too. I will have to make these… or maybe she can make them herself. Yeah, she’ll have fun.

If I use a lemon cake mix, should I leave out the vanilla? Jan
I would since it is already flavored.
Thank you so much for responding, I am not much of a baker. Jan
I hope you enjoy the cookies!
