Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

In a large bowl, beat together the softened butter and cream cheese until smooth.

Add the egg and vanilla extract, and mix until fully combined.

Mix in the cake mix until a thick dough forms.

Fold in red and green sprinkles.

Chill the dough for 30 minutes for easier handling.

Scoop out tablespoon-sized amounts of dough, roll into balls, then roll in powdered sugar.

Place on the prepared baking sheet, spacing 2 inches apart.

Bake for 10–12 minutes until edges are set but centers are still soft.

Let cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
