We All Need a Christmas Cookie Shortcut

If you’ve been around the blog or social media with me, you know that I’m ALL . ABOUT. THE SHORTCUTS.  When you’re a mom of littles (or bigs), and life is crazy, you need all the hacks you can get.

Multiply that by a million around Christmas. As much as we try to slow it down, sometimes the Christmas season gets away from us, and it’s way more busy and stressful than we want.

So if there’s any way to cut corners, I’m all for it. And in this case, there is: Christmas cookies.

Best Christmas Cookie Hack Ever: Cake Mix

I know, it’s fun to think about making Christmas cookies with the kids (and sometimes it is actually fun to make them…sometimes), but I don’t know – I just don’t have time for complicated recipes with 35 ingredients and 17 steps. I need simple.

And that’s what I’ve got for you today – the easiest cookie recipes in the world: cake mix cookies.

A friend of mine introduced me to these some years ago, and they are my go-to when I need to make cookies in bulk – like for cookie exchanges or school events, Christmas parties or for gifts.

A Million Ways to Make the Easiest Cookies Ever

The great thing is that there are so many varieties – you’ll never get bored.

Different cake flavors  – vanilla, chocolate, red velvet, spice cake, etc.

Different mix-ins – chocolate chips, candy, nuts, crushed Oreos, etc.

All of the recipes listed below are easy, but some of the recipes are easier than others.

Some are straight up just 4-5 ingredients. Some of the fancier ones add pudding mixes, cream cheese, frosting – totally up to you.

If all you can manage is a 4-ingredient recipe (like, the ingredients listed on the cake box), go for it!

That is the beauty of these recipes. So easy and you can’t mess it up.

Most of the recipes are also specifically ‘Christmas’ – others are just really delicious cake mix cookie recipes and would be amazing to bake for Christmas!

OK, are you excited? Get ready for your Christmas baking to get a whole lot easier!
