Ingredients for Don T Eat The Yellow Snowman Cookies

  • 1 box (15.25 oz) lemon cake mix
  • Vegetable Oil
  • 2 large eggs
  • Flaked Coconut
  • Decorative Candies
  • Miniature Chocolate Chip
  • Candy Sprinkles

How to Make Don T Eat The Yellow Snowman Cookies

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the lemon cake mix, eggs, oil, and milk. Mix until just combined; do not overmix.
  3. Roll the dough into 1-inch balls.
  4. Place the dough balls onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.
  5. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
  6. Remove from oven and let cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
  7. Once cool, decorate your snowman cookies! Use candy melts or frosting to create faces, buttons, and scarves. Mini chocolate chips or sprinkles can also add festive touches.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
