Green Cake Mix Cookies

I needed a quick treat for Story Time today and since it is St. Patrick’s day I wanted something green.  This was super easy, they turned out really yummy and the kids had fun eating their green cookies.

Ingredients:

  • 1 Yellow Cake mix
  • 2 Large Eggs
  • 1/3 cup oil ( I actually used applesauce instead)
  • food coloring (I used about 3 drops, but would have like a little more color)

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Mix all ingredients in a bowl.  Place by teaspoon full onto a cookie sheet.  Bake for 8-10 minutes.  Place onto a cooling rack shortly after taking them out of the oven so that they don’t end up sticking to the cookie sheet.

Variations:  You are welcome to add chocolate chips, toffee chips, nuts and dried fruit to these.  I didn’t this time because I wanted them all green for the holiday.

Verdict:  My kids totally loved these.  I had to take them away and hide them until story time so that we would have some left.  One mom told me that she has tried to make these before, but they’ve never come out quite so good.  I admit, they are a sweet, light, fluffy cookie and I ate more than I probably should have.
