Ingredients

  • 1 box white or vanilla cake mix
  • 2 whole eggs
  • 1/2 cup vegetable or canola oil
  • 10-15 drops green food gel
  • 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar

Instructions

  • In a large bowl, mix together cake mix, eggs, oil, and until combined. You can do this by hand, with an electric hand mixer, or stand mixer. Add drops of food gel until your desired shade of green (I usually use 10-15 drops). Mix again until cookie dough is combined.
  • Refrigerate dough for 20 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F and line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper or silpat mats.
  • Place the powdered sugar in a shallow bowl or dish. Use a mini ice cream scoop (equivalent to 2 tablespoons) and roll cookie dough into powdered sugar until evenly coated.
  • Place on prepared cookie sheet and gently press a heart sprinkle in the center of each cookie and bake for 9-10 minutes or until the cookies are set and no longer doughy or too soft. Let the cookies cool for a few minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack.
