Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 box green cake mix
- 2 large eggs
- ⅓ cup vegetable oil
Extras and Decorations:
- ½ cup chocolate chips
- ½ cup red sprinkles
Instructions
- Grab your green cake mix and crack 2 large eggs into a mixing bowl. Pour in ⅓ cup vegetable oil and blend everything together until smooth.
- Toss in ½ cup chocolate chips and ½ cup red sprinkles. Gently fold them into the batter so they’re evenly distributed.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Scoop rounded tablespoon-sized portions of the dough, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Position the baking sheet in a 350°F oven. Bake for exactly 10-12 minutes until the edges turn slightly golden.
- Remove the sheet from the oven. Let the cookies rest on the baking sheet for 3 minutes to firm up.
- Transfer cookies to a wire rack. Allow them to cool completely for about 15 minutes before enjoying their festive green color and sweet chocolate chips.
Notes
- Swap out regular chocolate chips for festive green ones to amp up the Grinch theme and make the cookies more playful.
- Use gel food coloring instead of liquid to achieve a vibrant green color without changing the cookie dough’s texture.
- For a gluten-free version, select a gluten-free cake mix and ensure all add-ins are certified gluten-free.
- Cool the cookies completely on the baking sheet to help them set and develop a perfect chewy-crisp texture.
