Ingredients

Preheat the oven to 375°F.
Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper, silicone baking mat, or coat with nonstick baking spray.
In a large mixing bowl, mix the cake mix, eggs, and olive oil. Mix until all ingredients are combined. I used a Danish dough whisk, but a large mixing spoon will also work. Using an electric mixer can make the dough too thick.
Separate the dough equally into 2 bowls. In one bowl, using a toothpick add the red food coloring and in the other bowl using a different toothpick, add in the green coloring. Mix this well until the desired color is reached.
Using a small cookie scoop, roll the dough into smaller balls 1 1/2 Tbsp size.
Then coat the dough ball in powdered sugar.
Place on the cookie sheet, leaving 1 1/2 inches between each ball to allow the cookies to spread.
Bake in a preheated over for 9-12 minutes.
Cool on cookie sheet for 2 minutes before moving them to a cooling rack.
Serve and Enjoy!
