These cookies seem to be mighty versatile. I have heard of adding peanut butter to them, and orange zest. This recipe is not only good for Christmas, but for whenever you want to make a quick treat. And the recipe is fairly simple.
1 Box Cake mix (I usually use yellow or chocolate)
2 large eggs
1/3-cup oil
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Mix above ingredients until they form a dough. It doesn’t matter if there are some lumps, but to eliminate those lumps I usually break them up while they are in the plastic cake mix bag before pouring the mix in the bowl. When you have the dough, prepare a small bowl of sugar (for one box you won’t need a lot- start with two tablespoons). Form dough balls and roll them in sugar, setting them on your ungreased cookie sheets. Bake the cookies for 6-9 minutes. You can tell their done if they bottoms of the cookies are firm but the top still sinks slightly when you touch it. They will continue to cook after they are out of the oven and cooling. I usually get 18 if I make the balls walnut-sized. Have fun!

I forgot to add that nothing compares to Aldi cake mix. I think it might be the pudding in it. But they will look a little weird if you use other cake mixes.
