How to Make Holiday Cake Mix Cookies

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 box (15.25 oz) of your favorite holiday-themed cake mix, 1 cup of red and green swirled white chocolate chips, ½ cup sweetened shredded coconut, and ½ cup dried cranberries.
  3. Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk together 2 large egg whites, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and ¼ cup vegetable oil.
  5. Pour the wet ingredients into the well in the large bowl. Stir gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  6. If the mixture seems too dry, add 1 tablespoon of water at a time until the dough is just moist enough to hold its shape.
  7. Cover the bowl and chill the dough in the refrigerator for 20-30 minutes.
  8. Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  9. Using a cookie scoop or a tablespoon, form the dough into small balls (approximately 1 heaping tablespoon each).
  10. Place the dough balls onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 1 inch between each cookie.
  11. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown. Keep a close eye on them during the last few minutes to prevent burning.
  12. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 1-2 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
