Main Ingredients
- 1 box yellow cake mix
- 1/2 cup softened butter
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 8 ounces softened cream cheese
- 1 egg
Coating
- Powdered sugar (for rolling)
- Holiday sprinkles (for rolling)
Instructions
- Prepare the batter: Beat together the softened butter, vanilla extract, egg, and softened cream cheese until the mixture is fluffy and well combined.
- Add cake mix: Gradually add the yellow cake mix into the cream cheese mixture and blend until fully incorporated.
- Chill the dough: Place the dough in the refrigerator and chill for 1 hour to firm up for easier handling.
- Roll the cookies: Roll the chilled dough into balls, then dip each ball into the holiday sprinkles, followed by rolling in a bowl of powdered sugar until fully coated.
- Bake: Arrange the coated balls on a baking sheet and bake in a preheated oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 12 minutes or until the edges are lightly browned.
- Cool: Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on a wire rack for 5 minutes before serving.
Notes
- Ensure the cream cheese and butter are fully softened for a smooth dough.
- Chilling the dough helps prevent spreading during baking.
- Use any cake mix flavor to customize the cookie flavor.
- Store cookies in an airtight container to keep them soft.
- For a festive look, use colored holiday sprinkles according to the season.
