15-Minute Gluten Free Christmas Cookies with Sprinkles (5-Ingredient)

These 15-Minute Gluten Free Christmas Cookies with Sprinkles are an easy treat to make during the holiday season and they only require 5-ingredients. They are so easy, even the kids can make them. Get creative by adding a chocolate or peppermint kiss into the top just when they come out of the oven.

Ingredients

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees
  • In a stand mixer, combine the dry cake mix, the dry pudding mix, butter and eggs then mix well
  • Using a mini cookie (icecream) scoop, roll dough into about 1” balls
  • In another bowl, add the sprinkles
  • Roll each cookie dough ball in the sprinkles
  • Place balls on a silicone mat lined baking sheet and bake cookies 8-10 minutes or until the cookies are lightly brown on the bottom and still soft to the touch on top (I like them just undercooked)
  • Remove cookies from the oven and let the cookies rest for 1-2 minutes then transfer to a wire rack

Notes

Pro Tip: Any gluten-free cake mix will do but I prefer this easy to find Pillsbury gluten-free yellow cake mix
You can make these dairy-free by simply using a dairy-free butter stick and a dairy-free, gluten-free cake mix. 
I love to freeze them and pull just one or two out when I want (I almost put need) them. They only take 15 minutes or so to thaw. Although, I love them cold and a bit frozen. 
Leftovers can be store in an airtight container for 3-4 days. Make sure to let them cool to room temperature before putting them in a container with the lid.
