The next Christmas cookie you should bake…

Since Christmas is right around the corner I thought I’d share one of my faaaaavorite Christmas cookie recipes!  I call it the “cupcake-cookie” and get this, it’s only 4 ingredients!  This recipe will for sure have your friends and family unbuttoning their pants as they continuously reach for more.  People will definitely be asking for this recipe.

Ingredients:

1 box of devils food cake mix

2 eggs

1/3c. vegetable oil

Candy Cane Hershey kisses (around 30)

Directions:

1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees and line your baking sheets with parchment paper/tin foil
2. Mix your cake mix, eggs, and oil until smooth.
3. Scoop little dough balls a little smaller than a tablespoon and place onto baking sheets.
4. Bake for 5-7 minutes. Let them cool for about 2 minutes and place your unwrapped Hershey kiss into the center.
5. You can also sprinkle festive sprinkles on top or dust on some powdered sugar!
6.   Viola! A yummy Christmas cookie for the friends & fam.

These are the ones I made! I subbed for Hershey’s Milk Chocolate kisses because my family is filled with chocoholics.  I did however add some red & green sprinkles for the spirit of Christmas!
