Christmas tree cake cookies

Ingredients:

• 1 box white cake mix
• 2 eggs
• 1/2 cup vegetable oil
• 1 cup red and green M&M’s
• 1 tsp almond extract
• sprinkles
• 3 Little Debbie Christmas tree cakes, cut into pieces

Directions:

1.) Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

2.) In a mixing bowl, combine cake mix, eggs, oil, almond extract and M&M’s, mixing until combined.

3.) Use an ice cream scooper to form into balls.

4.) Roll the cookie dough balls into a dish of sprinkles then place onto a baking sheet.

5.) Allow to bake for about 8-10 minutes.

6.) Remove the cookies from the oven and use the back of a spoon to make little indentations into the cookie.

7.) Place a piece of the Christmas tree cake on top of each cookie.

These also freeze really well so you can make ahead of time! I line some parchment paper in an airtight storage container and freeze until the day of.

 

Enjoy!!!
