Equipment

Ingredients

1 box (15.25 oz/432 g) cake mix
1/3 cup (80 ml) vegetable or canola oil
1/4 cup (60 g) plain regular yogurt
1 teaspoon (5 ml) pure vanilla extract (optional)
1/2 cup (95 g) sprinkles (optional)

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F (180º C). Line a baking sheet with a silicone mat or parchment paper. Set aside.
Combine the cake mix, oil, yogurt, and vanilla( if using) in a medium bowl. Stir together until well combined. If using any mix-ins, add now and mix to distribute evenly.
Scoop out 1 1/2 to 2 tablespoons of dough for each cookie. Roll each portion into a ball. If using any topping, top the cookie balls with your topping of preference now; I used sprinkles. Place cookie balls onto the prepared baking sheet.
Bake for 9-11 minutes, until barely set around the edges. Allow to cool on the baking sheets for 3-4 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

STORE at room temperature in an airtight container for up to 3 days.

FREEZE: Let the cookies cool completely after baking. Then place on a cookie sheet and flash freeze for about 30 minutes. Once they're hard, place the cookies in a freezer container or bag and freeze them for up to 2 months. To thaw, remove them from the freezer about 2 hours before enjoying and let them thaw at room temperature.

EXTRA TIPS:

Don't overbake: These cookies should have a soft texture so bake for about 10 minutes or until they are set.
If the cookie dough is too sticky, you can refrigerate it for about 30 minutes, so it's easier to work with.
PRO TIP >>> Keep Your Cookies Soft: No one likes a hard, dry cookie (especially not Santa). To ensure cookie freshness, store them in a container with a slice of white bread. The cookies will absorb that moisture, keeping them softer longer.
