We made a variety of festive holiday cookies. Some of them green, some of them red, and some of them a mix of the two colors. For the multicolored cookie, simply roll a little of the red and green dough together. You don’t want to mix it up so the colors combine. You still want to be able to see each distinct color.

Place the cookie dough on the parchment lined baking sheet a few inches apart. You should be able to fit 12 cookies per baking sheet.

Bake the Cake Mix Cookies for 10-12 minutes at 350 degrees.

Remove them from the oven and let the cookies cool on a cooling rack so they can set.

You can dust these with powdered sugar for a pretty presentation.

EAT AT HOME MEAL PLANS

Everyone is meal planning these days. While I love the results of not having to worry what’s for dinner, it can be time consuming. But when you sign up for Eat At Home Meal Plans you get access to 4 separate meal plans each month (Traditional, Wholesome Traditional, Slow Cooker, and No Flour/No Sugar). Just print the plans, color-coded grocery lists, and recipes you want for the month. With so many options, even picky eaters will find something they love.

When dinner time rolls around, make that night’s recipe (choices include make-ahead, freezer meals, slow-cooker recipes, and other time-saving strategies) and you are ready to go.

You are a busy mama and I know you have more important things to do than meal planning. Let someone else do it for you with Eat At Home Meal Plans. Monthly, quarterly and annual plans are available.
