Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper, silicone baking mat, or coat with nonstick baking spray.
In a large mixing bowl, mix the cake mix, eggs, and olive oil. Mix until all ingredients are combined. I used a Danish dough whisk, but a large mixing spoon will also work. Using an electric mixer can make the dough too thick.
Separate the dough equally into 2 bowls. In one bowl, using a toothpick add the red food coloring and in the other bowl using a different toothpick, add in the green coloring. Mix this well until the desired color is reached.
Using a small cookie scoop, roll the dough into smaller balls 1 1/2 Tbsp size.
Then coat the dough ball in powdered sugar.
Place on the cookie sheet, leaving 1 1/2 inches between each ball to allow the cookies to spread.
Bake in a preheated over for 9-12 minutes.
Cool on cookie sheet for 2 minutes before moving them to a cooling rack.
Serve and Enjoy!
Notes
The colors used were Red-Red and Kelly Green from Wilton.This recipe is made with a 13.25oz box of Betty Crocker White Cake Mix.If you were looking to make this gluten-free, it could be done with a gluten-free cake mix; however, there are many variables for instance this was done with a 13.25oz box of cake mix, most gluten-free boxes are larger. Be sure to adjust it for the ounces needed because this recipe adds eggs and oil in terms of the cake mix used. Typically this means that you would use 2 eggs and 1/2 cup of oil instead of 1/3 cup as seen above.
