Equipment
- Large Bowl

Ingredients
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 large egg
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 15 oz white cake mix 1 box
- 1.5 cups Christmas sprinkles red, white, and green
- 1 cup powdered sugar for coating
- 2 cups white chocolate melting chips
Instructions
- In a large bowl, beat the softened butter and cream cheese together until smooth and creamy.
- Mix in the egg and vanilla until well combined.
- Stir in the cake mix, then gently fold in 3/4 cup of the sprinkles.
- Cover the dough with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight (or at least 8 hours).
- When ready to bake, preheat oven to 350°F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats.
- Using a small cookie scoop, scoop out dough and roll into balls.
- Place powdered sugar in a shallow bowl. Roll each dough ball in a few extra sprinkles, then coat generously with powdered sugar.
- Arrange balls on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 8–10 minutes, until the bottoms are lightly golden. Let cool on the sheets for a few minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Melt the white chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
- Dip half of each cooled cookie into the melted chocolate, letting excess drip off. Return to the parchment paper.
- Sprinkle more Christmas sprinkles over the chocolate. Let set until the chocolate hardens completely.
