Ingredients

  

This festive cookie recipe comes together with simple pantry staples, plus a few fun mix-ins for that signature holiday look. Bright candies and sprinkles give each cookie its colorful “fireworks” vibe.

• White cake mix use the dry mix only
• Unsalted butter softened
• Cream cheese softened for smooth mixing
• Egg to bind the dough
• Vanilla extract for added flavor
• Cream-filled cookies like sandwich cookies for that cookies-and-cream twist
• Red white, and blue M&M’s for color and crunch
• Patriotic sprinkles star-shaped or mixed

Method

 

1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the cake mix, butter, cream cheese, egg, and vanilla. Mix until a soft, smooth dough forms.
2. Fold in the crushed sandwich cookies along with the colorful candies and sprinkles.
3. Cover and chill the dough in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour—this helps the cookies stay thick and fluffy when baked.
4. Scoop the dough into evenly sized portions (about 24 pieces) and place them on a lined baking sheet.
5. Bake until set, then let the cookies rest on the pan briefly before transferring them to cool completely.

Notes

Helpful Tips

• Go easy on mixing once the cookie chunks are added to keep those tasty pieces intact.
• Use a cookie scoop to keep sizes uniform for even baking.
• For extra festive flair, roll dough balls in sprinkles and press a few extra candies on top before baking.
• Store cooled cookies in an airtight container to keep them soft and fresh.
