St Patricks Day Cookies
Can you believe February is already over?
It’s starting to warm up outside and our Spring Break is just around the corner! “Luckily” for us, St. Patrick’s Day always falls during Spring Break. St. Patty’s day is one of our favorite holidays to craft around. Rainbows, leprechauns, pots of gold, the color green, etc… what could be better?
This year, I’ve decided on these Easy St Patrick’s Day Crinkle Cookies. We’ve already made them once (a little early, I know…but who really needs an excuse for cookies?!) and I know we’ll be making again closer to St Patrick’s Day.
A Great Cookie Recipe to Make With Kids
Everyone loves these St. Patrick’s Day Crinkle Cookies, and bonus, they are an easy cookie recipe to bake with kids. Personally, I love easy cookie and cake recipes that start with a box of cake mix. It’s the best baking hack ever! It makes the mixing and stirring so much easier because there’s no need for ten different ingredients spread out across the counter
It’s better now that my kids are a little older but even just two years ago my kitchen would look like a tornado every time we tried to bake together! Other than eating the cookies (of course), my kids favorite part is rolling the dough into balls and then dipping them in the powdered sugar. (Except for the multiple times I caught my son licking the sugar off the unbaked cookies – yep, those were his, lol.)
Ingredients in these Crinkle Cookies
Thes easy Crinkle Cookies cookies are so delicious and soft, just the way I like them! Besides the cake mix, there’s only 4 other ingredients so these might just take the award for easiest cookies ever. The food coloring could even be switched from green to another color to make these festive and appropriate for other celebrations as well.
- 1 box of white cake mix
- 2 eggs
- vegetable oil
- powdered sugar
- Optional: 10–12 drops green food color
If you’re looking for a fun, non-alcoholic way to celebrate St Patty’s Day or an easy cookie recipe to make with kids, definitely try these St Patty’s Day Crinkle Cookies!

Really fun recipe, what a great idea! Is it an American thing to abbreviate it to St Patty’s day? In Ireland the short form of Patrick is Paddy. Patty would be a girl! I love this time of year, and all things Irish.

It must be. I googled around for the proper way and I came up with multiple spellings.

Can also use 1 large container of whipped topping, substitute for eggs and oil. Thanks for posting, I had forgotten about this recipe.
Debbie says
I used my cookie dough scoop and dusted them with powdered sugar before baking. Didn’t even flatten them as called for in the recipe. They turned out great!
Jamie says
thanks for the tip!

This sounds so easy. I made cookies once using cake mix and they were so salty-tasting I couldn’t eat them. So I’ve not tried it again. Does anyone else have that problem when making cookies with cake mix?
Jill says
I’d like to make these but have one question….is the 1 cup powdered only for rolling the cookies in or part of the cookie mix?
Jamie Sanders says
It’s just for rolling. You might be able to get away with less if that is what you are wondering….
Hailey says
How many cookies does this recipe make? Anyone try adding chocolate chips?
Jamie says
12 to 18 cookies.
