How to Make Patrick’s Day Cookies
- 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.
