How to Make The Best St. Patrick’s Day Cookies
- Add Extra Flavor – Boost the flavor of your cookies by adding either a teaspoon of vanilla extract or almond extract to the cake mix batter.
- Use Parchment Paper – Line your baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats to prevent the cookies from sticking and to ensure even baking.
- Bake Time may vary. Cake mix cookies tend to bake faster than traditional cookie dough, so keep an eye on them and adjust the baking time accordingly. Start checking for doneness a few minutes before the suggested time on the recipe.
- Cooling Cookies – If the chocolate kisses start to soften while cooling, place the cookies in a freezer for a few minutes to set.
