We are all ready to day 20 of our 25 days of holiday sweets and treats! I can't believe how fast December is flying by! How in the world are we only 1 week away from Christmas!

I should probably start thinking about finishing up our holiday cards and wrapping gifts. I must say it is a lot more fun to play in the kitchen instead of worrying about holiday stress.

Today's recipe is filled with holiday cheer......Candy Canes!

Candy Canes are a pretty universal symbol of holiday cheer right?

These cookies are so easy to make! Who would have thought you could make seriously yummy cookies with a cake mix......

Ingredients

Devil foods cake mix
Eggs
Oil
Candy canes

Large Mixing Bowl - We are big fans of this glass batter bowl that has a handle. It makes it easy to mix ingredients and keeps the mixing bowl steady on the counter.

Parchment Paper - I am a huge fan of using parchment paper to make clean up and serving so much easier.

Baking Sheet - I like to use baking sheets with sides so there is no way I can be clumsy and have the cookies slide right off into the oven {not that I want to admit that it has happened but I did learn my lesson.}

Heat resistant potholders - A couple of years ago we had a fire scare when we didn't realize we had turned a burner on and a cloth potholder caught fire. Thankfully we walked by the kitchen and saw the smoke and were able to get it out ourselves. Since then we have only used these heat-resistant potholders.

We love being able to make 4 ingredient cake mix cookies around the holidays. They save a ton of time and turn out amazing.
