Colorful Crinkle Cookies

Preheat oven to 375ºF. Line 2 cookie sheets with parchment paper.

In a medium bowl, whisk together confectioners’ sugar and cornstarch, set aside.

In a large bowl, combine cake mixes, eggs, and melted butter. Beat with an electric mixer until thick and well blended.

Divide batter into thirds. Stir the red food coloring into one third and the green into another third. Leave one third white. Working with one color of batter at a time, divide each into 24 balls about 1 1/2 inches across. Roll the balls in the confectioners’ sugar mixture to coat. Transfer to a prepared cookie sheet, place the balls about 2 inches apart. Repeat with the remaining batter.

Bake until the cookies are puffed and lightly browned around the edges, 9–10 minutes. Let cool for several minutes before transferring the cookies to a wire rack to cool completely. Repeat with the remaining cookie dough.

Yields 6 dozen cookies.
