INGREDIENTS YOU WILL NEED TO MAKE ST PATRICK’S DAY CAKE BOX COOKIES

These St. Patrick’s Day Cookies really are amazing. They are soft, chewy, and delicious! And you won’t believe how few ingredients you need to make them.

Cookies from cake mix ingredients include the following:

• box of cake mix – I used Duncan Hines Classic White Cake Mix, but any white or vanilla cake mix will work
• large eggs – these should be at room temperature, so leave them out for at least 30 minutes before starting.
• vegetable oil – will give the cookies a soft, slightly chewy texture.
• Ghirardelli white chocolate melting wafers – they melt easily and taste wonderful.
• St. Patrick’s Day sprinkles – I love these Sweets Indeed Sprinklefettia!

INSTRUCTIONS TO MAKE ST PATRICK’S DAY COOKIES

You will love how simple these cookies are to make!

Step One: Prep

• Preheat the oven.
• Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a Silpat mat.

Step Two: Make Batter

• In a large bowl, add the cake mix, eggs, and oil and stir until completely combined,

Step Three: Form Cookie Balls

• Use a cookie scoop to form cookie balls from the batter and then place them about 2-inches apart on the prepared cookie sheet.

Step Four: Bake

• Now you will bake the cake box cookies just until they are set. Don’t overbake.

Pro Tip: be careful not to overbake these St Patrick’s Day Cookies, they should be very soft when they’re done. They may even look undercooked but will continue to set up as they cool. If you overbake, they will have a more cake-like consistency.

Step Five: Melt Chocolate

• As the cookies are cooling, add the chopped white chocolate to a microwave safe bowl, and heat in 30 second intervals, stirring between each heat session, until the chocolate is fully melted.

Step Six: Dip and Decorate

• Working with one cookie at a time, dip a cookie into the chocolate, about ⅓ of the way, then set on it a parchment lined baking sheet or counter. Immediately add sprinkles.

Step Seven: Allow Cookies to Set

• Allow to sit until the chocolate has set completely.

And there you have it! Super soft and extra fun St. Patrick’s Day cookies that are perfect for celebrating with your little Leprechauns.

HOW TO STORE ST PATRICK’S DAY COOKIES FROM CAKE MIX

If you have any leftovers – yes, these cake mix cookies are really THAT good – you can store any leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.

These cookies are best served at room temperature, but they can also be stored in the refrigerator.
