Equipment

  • Large Mixing Bowls
  • Spatula
  • Measuring cups
  • Cookie scoop
  • Baking tray
  • Cooling rack
  • Parchment paper

Ingredients
  

  • 1 Box Chocolate Cake Mix
  • 2 Large Eggs
  • 1/2 Cup Vegetable Oil
  • 1 Cup Leftover Christmas Mix-ins plus more for topping (optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare The Cookie Dough

  • First, pour the chocolate cake mix into a large bowl.
  • Then, add in the eggs and oil and mix to combine.
  • Next, fold in the leftover Christmas topping mix-ins.

Prepare For Baking

  • Refrigerate the dough for 30 minutes or freeze it for 10 minutes.
  • While the dough is chilling, line the cookie tray with parchment paper.
  • Then, preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
  • Once the dough is chilled, using a cookie scooper, scoop 12 one-inch round balls onto the lined cookie tray.
  • Optionally, roll the cookie dough balls in additional Christmas mix-ins.
  • Note: if the dough feels significantly softer than when you removed it from the fridge or freezer, chill the dough for another 5-10 minutes before baking. This will help hold the cookies' shape.

Bake The Cookies

  • Then, bake for 10 minutes at 350 degrees. 
  • Lastly, remove the cookies from the oven.
  • Let the cookies set on the cookie tray for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to finish cooling.
  • Repeat the steps under "Prepare For Baking" and "Bake The Cookies" with the remaining dough, for a total of 24 cookies.
  • Enjoy!
