In a large bowl, mix together the white cake mix, vegetable oil, and eggs until a sticky dough forms. Ensure everything is well incorporated for that delightful consistency.

Pour in the Kelly green gel food coloring and stir until the dough is evenly tinted to a vibrant green hue. The color will add that festive flair!

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and chill the dough in the refrigerator for 30 minutes. This step helps firm up the dough, preventing excessive spreading during baking.

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). While the oven heats, line a baking sheet with parchment paper to ensure easy release of the cookies later.

Once chilled, take the dough out and roll it into 1-tablespoon-sized balls. First, coat each ball in granulated sugar, then roll in powdered sugar to create that signature crinkle look.

Place the sugar-coated dough balls on the prepared baking sheet, making sure to leave about 2 inches of space between them for spreading.

Bake in the preheated oven for 9–12 minutes. Look for puffed cookies that are set around the edges but still soft in the center for that perfect chewy texture.

Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before carefully transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. This helps maintain their shape and soft texture.
