For Valentine’s Day, I decided to recreate the cookies I wrote about on my first blog post back in December:   Christmas White Cake Cookies, but wanted to update the recipe to make it a little more flavorful.

I thought they needed just a touch of vanilla, so I decided to add that in and since they are for Valentine’s Day, I had to use pink, red and white sprinkles.  I also changed the method just a tiny bit and cooked them slightly less.  So here it is again, new and improved!

Valentine’s White Cake Cookies

Yield: About 2 dozen cookies

Ingredients:

1 box white cake mix
1 egg
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1/4 cup oil
1/4 cup water
sanding sugar or sprinkles

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Combine all ingredients (except for sugars/sprinkles) in a large bowl.  Place sprinkles in another small bowl.  Roll dough into walnut-sized balls.  Flatten each ball slightly and dip one side into sprinkles.   Place onto a Silpat or parchment lined cookie sheet about 1 inch apart.  Bake about 14-15 minutes or until starting to very lightly brown around the edges.  Cool and enjoy!
