Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, beat together the softened butter and eggs until creamy. Mix in the vanilla extract.
Gradually add the yellow cake mix, stirring until fully combined to form a thick dough.
Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough and roll them into balls. Roll each ball in powdered sugar for a snowy finish.
Place the cookie balls on prepared baking sheets, spaced two inches apart. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until lightly golden around the edges.
Allow cookies to cool on baking sheets for about five minutes before transferring to wire racks.
