Holiday Cake Mix Cookies image

This is one of my variations of Linda's "Cake Mix Cookies", and I thought the changes warranted it as a separate recipe. For the white chocolate chips, I used those red and green swirled ones that Nestle puts out at holiday time. I chilled the dough a bit in the fridge before doing the first dozen, and then set the bowl back in the fridge between each dozen to make it just a smidge easier to work with. From start to finish, it only took an hour to have four dozen pretty and tasty cookies to add to my holiday cookie tins!

Time 1h

Yield 48 cookies, 48 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 (18 1/4 ounce) box white cake mix
1/2 cup canola oil
3 egg whites
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup white chocolate chips
1/2 cup sweetened flaked coconut
1/2 cup dried cranberries
1 tablespoon water (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Combine cake mix, white chocolate chips, coconut and dried cranberries in a large mixing bowl. Make a well in the center.
  • Combine egg whites, vanilla extract and oil in a small bowl. Add to the ingredients in the large bowl and stir well to combine. If the mixture seems too dry, add up to 1 Tbs. water, so that all ingredients are well incorporated. Chill in refrigerator for 20-30 minutes.
  • Spray a cookie sheet with cooking spray or line it with parchment paper. Form dough into small balls, using a heaping half tablespoonful of dough for each cookie. Place balls on cookie sheets, about an inch apart.
  • Bake 8-10 minutes, or until the cookies are just golden brown in spots on the top. Let them cool for a minute or two on the cookie sheet before removing them to a cooling rack to cool completely.

These cookies were a disaster! The dough was too sticky and the cookies spread out too much. I wouldn't recommend this recipe.

I'm not a huge fan of cake mix cookies, but these were actually pretty good. I would make them again if I was in a pinch.

These cookies are the perfect balance of chewy and soft. I love the addition of the sprinkles, which make them extra festive.
