It’s Friday, and that means the end of #ChristmasCookies Week.  I’m ending the week with a colorful cookie made from a cake mix.  Christmas Crinkle Cookies will surely put a smile on your face with their pop of color and then when you taste them, oh so good! On Monday, I shared these Raspberry Shortbread Cookies with an almond glaze and then on Wednesday these Cinnamon Pecan Snickerdoodles made their debut.  Each day there was also a list of other Christmas Cookies being shared from a group of bloggers.  Check them out!

We are also very fortunate that two amazing sponsors sent us goodies to use in our recipes and have generously provided an awesome prize package to be given away.  You can enter the giveaway at the end of this post and see all of today’s recipes that are linked.  So many yummy cookies to be made and shared.

Tips to Make Christmas Crinkle Cookies:

I used a white cake mix for these cookies and with cake mixes all of the ingredients are already in there for you, but I like to bump up the vanilla in the boxed mixes. Gives it more of an oomph, if you will.  Using Adams Best Vanilla Extract gives these cookies such a wonderful vanilla flavor without being too strong.  

I recommend using food coloring gel to get the red and green colors, but regular food coloring will work as well.  You may have to use more to get the color you desire. 

Allow the cookies to cool a minute or two on the baking sheet before removing to a cooling rack.

Ingredients

  • 1 box white cake mix
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1/3 cup vegetable oil
  • red and green food coloring gel
  • 1/3 cup powdered sugar

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 375 degree and line a baking sheet with a silicon baking mat or parchment paper.
  • Mix eggs, oil, vanilla, and cake mix in a large bowl.
  • Divide the dough into two equal amounts and place each in a small bowl.
  • Add red food coloring to one bowl and green to the other.
  • Mix each one till the color is fully incorporated into the dough. I used spoon but you can use your hands as well.
  • Refrigerate dough for at least 30 minutes to make the dough a more easy to work with and to get fluffier cookies.
  • Using a tablespoon cookie scoop to measure out the dough. Then roll each dough ball in powdered sugar and place on prepared baking sheet. *If you find the dough is too sticky, add about one tablespoon of flour to the dough and work that in.
  • Bake for 9-11 minutes at 375 degrees, allow to cool a minute or two on baking sheet before removing to cooling rack.

Adams Extract

Prize 2 – Adams Extract Prize Pack

Adams traces its beginnings back to Battle Creek, Michigan, when John A. Adams began making and selling his Green Plant Sarsaparilla extract, Adamur, in 1888. In 1905, he moved his family to Beeville, TX. At the time, most vanilla sold to pharmacies and was often labeled “Do not bake or freeze.” John A. Adams’ wife yearned for a flavoring that wouldn’t bake or freeze out. He announced that he could produce a better vanilla than the one his wife was currently using. Working with just $6.71 worth of materials on top of an old icebox, John A. Adams discovered the formula he wanted. To test this product, his wife whipped up a cake for the family to try. “John, this is the BEST flavoring I have ever used,” she announced. “Well, that’s old man Adams BEST,” he responded.

      I haven’t tried it with anything but veg oil. You could use coconut oil or try melted butter, but I have not used either of those to say if it would turn out the same.
