Let’s break down the process of making these Easy St. Patrick’s Day Cookies into easy-to-follow steps. I’ll guide you through each stage, ensuring a stress-free and enjoyable baking experience.

Step 1: Combine Ingredients. In a large mixing bowl, combine the white cake mix, eggs, and vegetable oil.

Step 2: Stir to Form Dough. Stir the ingredients together until a sticky dough forms.

Step 3: Add Food Coloring. Add the Kelly green gel food coloring and mix until it’s evenly distributed throughout the dough, creating a vibrant green color.

Step 4: Chill the Dough. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and chill the dough in the refrigerator for 30 minutes. This makes the dough easier to handle and helps prevent the cookies from spreading too much during baking.

Step 5: Preheat Oven and Prepare Baking Sheet. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 6: Prepare Sugar Coatings. Place the granulated sugar in one small bowl and the powdered sugar in another small bowl.

Step 7: Scoop and Roll Dough. Use a tablespoon-sized cookie scoop (or a regular spoon) to portion out the dough. Roll each scoop of dough into a ball between your hands.

Step 8: Coat in Sugars. Roll each dough ball in the granulated sugar until fully coated. Then, roll each sugar-coated dough ball in the powdered sugar until completely covered.

Step 9: Place on Baking Sheet. Place the coated cookie dough balls on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

Step 10: Bake. Bake for 9-12 minutes, or until the cookies have spread slightly and the tops are crackled.

Step 11: Cool. Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes. Then, transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 12: Store Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days or freeze for longer storage.

These steps are easy to follow.
