Ingredients
Scale
- 1 box White Cake Mix (Can substitute with gluten-free cake mix)
- 2 large Eggs (Essential for binding)
- 1/2 cup Vegetable Oil (Can use melted butter or coconut oil)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract (Almond extract can be used for variation)
- 1 tablespoon Wilton Red Food Coloring Gel (Use gel for vibrant color)

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract until smooth. Gradually add the white cake mix and stir until fully combined.
- Divide the dough into two equal portions. Add red food coloring gel to one portion and green to the other, mixing until desired shades are achieved.

- Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of the dough, roll them into balls, and coat in powdered sugar.
