Step-by-Step Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the cake mix, eggs, and vegetable oil. Stir well with a spatula until a thick, smooth dough forms, about 2-3 minutes.
- Drop in the Kelly green gel food coloring, starting with 0.25 teaspoons. Mix thoroughly until the color is evenly distributed throughout the dough.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let the dough rest at room temperature for 15-30 minutes.
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line your baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In two separate small bowls, place the granulated sugar and powdered sugar.
- Using a 1-tablespoon cookie scoop, portion out the dough and roll each scoop into a ball. First, roll each ball in the granulated sugar, then roll them heavily in powdered sugar.
- Place the rolled dough balls on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Bake for 9-12 minutes.
- Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes
Letting the dough rest for 15-30 minutes reduces stickiness, which is key for shaping. Stick to gel food coloring for vibrant results.
