These 4 Ingredient Christmas Cookies are easy to make and delicious! Chocolate brownie cookies topped with a peppermint white chocolate Kiss, it’s the perfect bite of Christmas!
Christmas cookies that are delicious and beautiful and only take 4 ingredients to make! Yes, Christmas cookies really can be that easy! It’s like a chocolate brownie cookie and the simple topper of the Hershey Kiss just makes it so cute! Now, I used the Candy Cane kind but you can use regular, mint, or whatever kind you prefer. Santa would even love to have these on his cookie plate when he comes to bring you gifts! Ditch those peanut butter cookies and bring these chocolate Christmas cookies to all your friends!
The longer you bake these, the more “cakey” they’ll be, I prefer mine to be fudgey so I undercook them. Remember, cookies (and anything) will continue to cook while it’s out of the oven so be careful on your cooking times! This is also why I HIGHLY suggest using a Pillsbury mix. They bake up tall while most other mixes tend to spread out when baking way too much. I like the look of my cookies to be small and with a little height as opposed to flat silver dollar pancakes.
Easy to make Christmas Cookies
This cookie recipe is almost too good to be true! That’s right, 4 Ingredient Christmas Cookies! Oil, eggs, cake mix and Hershey Kisses! This is a perfect treat for a last minute cookie swap or gift. No need to bust out all that flour, sugar, stand mixer or anything else to make your cookie batter! Just use a cake mix that already has everything measured for you.
Food Scoops are the best! My life really did change when I got my first one years ago. Not only does a food scoop give you the same size cookies, cupcakes and muffins but it saves so much time! And for cookies, it scoops out perfectly round dough balls! It’s a great stocking stuffer gift for the baker in your family! I like the blue or yellow for cupcakes and the black for cookies, but these cookies need to be quite small so I used my purple scoop which also works for mini cupcakes!
Also, if you aren’t making your cookies on parchment paper, you are missing out! Smooth, crumb-free bottoms on all your cookies and no need to even wash your baking sheets after! Give it to the food scoops and parchment paper baking life!
Into the oven they go!
If your cookies come out a little too tall for you liking, they will settle a bit AND once you pop in that Hershey’s Kiss they’ll be cute as a Gingerbread man’s buttons! Make sure to get those Kisses in pretty soon after your cookies are done baking so they can melt a little into the cookie.
Press a Kiss on top and you’re set! Wasn’t that easy? My kids love to press in the Kiss at the end. If your kids are really little, move the cookies to a cool baking sheets or cooling racks before letting them press in the Kiss. We don’t want their cute little fingers getting burned by accident! Ouch!
I love a Christmas sugar cookie, but I feel like I always get so many of those from friends during the holidays! Mix it up and make these 4 Ingredient Chocolate Christmas Cookies this year!
The BEST Chocolate Christmas Cookie Recipe
Cookie Variations: You could also swap out the Kiss for a pecans, Andes Mint chocolate, walnuts or M&M’s, mix in sprinkles to the cookie batter or other fun things to change the look of the cookies! Sometimes we’ll make a double batch and “top” them a few different ways to make our cookie boxes have more variety. Need to make it gluten free? Just use a gluten-free cake mix!
4 Ingredient Christmas Cookies
Ingredients
- 1 box devil's food cake mix I prefer Pillsbury
- 2 large eggs
- 1/3 Cup oil
- 30-40 Hershey Kisses I used the Candy Cane ones but the mint would be great too!
Instructions
-
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees and line cookies sheets with parchment paper.
-
2. Combine cake mix, eggs and oil in a medium sized bowl. Stir until smooth.
-
3. Scoop small dough balls a little smaller than a Tablespoon onto cookies sheets and bake for 5-7 minutes. (Cake mix cookies will bake up tall and not spread too much so if you want a flatter cookie, pat the dough balls down a little before baking.)
-
4. Let cool for 2 minutes and then gently press an unwrapped Hershey Kiss into each cookie.

Typo Elf says
Just trying to be helpful — not to criticize. You have a couple typos in the cake mic cookie write-up 4-ingredient cookies. “Not only does it (the scoop) give YU the same size cookies…” and “it’s a GREY stocking stuffer”. I do like some of your ideas, so just trying to help you make your site better. Merry Christmas!
Lizzy Mae Early says
Oh my! Thank you! I wrote this post up really late last night and obviously that shows 🙂 Merry Christmas to you too!
June says
Cake mix, not mic.

Try out this new game, it really helps me relax
Heather Fisher says
This looks fantastic. Do these cookies freeze well?
Lizzy Mae Early says
Yes they do!
Megan says
How many cookies does one recipe make?
Lizzy Mae Early says
It makes about 30-40 cookies but it will just depend on how large of cookies you make!
Jan says
Do you use an electric mixer for the cookie dough or mix by hand like brownies. Cute idea. I need to make 6 dozen for my cookie exchange.
Mary says
Hi Lizzy. As always, love all your recipes and I’m sure this one will be a “keeper” too. Made your Andes Mint Cupcakes for a Holiday Event and completely sold out!!
Thank you for continuing to share all of your amazing recipes and photos. You are the BEST!
Merry Christmas to you and your family!
Mary and daughter, Angel 🙂
Lizzy Mae Early says
Oh that’s so incredible to hear! Thank you so much for your support. It’s because of readers like you who share and pin and tell people about my site that I can even do this! Merry Christmas!
Thalia @ butter and brioche says

Joanne says
Hi Lizzy – I love your site, and your recipes never fail me! Tonight, I am baking cookies with a chocolate cake mix, and adding chopped cherries and chocolate chunks.

Do you havfe any ideas to help fix this problem?
Teresa says
Would this work with other cake mixes too? Like Red Velvet cake mix?
Lizzy Mae Early says
Yes! Though you may need to decrease the oil just a little! Red Velvet cookies don’t rise as much so you won’t even need to pat them down at all before baking!

I needed to thank yyou for this good read!!
I certainlyy loved every bit of it. I hazve you book-marked to look at new things you post…
Kari Hall says
Thanks for the life saving recipe tonight. My daughter needed to bring a recipe to a party tomorrow and this one was great. Did you know your recipe asks you to put UnWrapped kisses on the cookie?
Thanks again.
Barb says
Unwrapped means to remove the candy kiss from its wrapper – so it can be eaten without biting into the wrapper.
cory says
Could I use butter instead of oil??
Mandy says
These were so great! I made them twice this week for Christmas treats, and people loved them. Thanks for sharing this super easy, yet tasty Christmas cookie recipe!
Krystle says
Not a good receipe people. You cannot put parchment paper in the oven!!! It causes the oven to smoke. I also combined the eggs, oil and cake mix with a mixer and ended up failing. All it did was clump together and make batter taffy like. You should be more specific, for example, combine by using a spoon.
Debbie says
Krystal, you most certainly can use parchment paper in the oven as long as your oven is not above 420 degrees. I use it in the oven all the time with no smoking.

Ashley says
HI! Should we refrigerate these right after they’re made to harden them up or leave them alone? Also, do they stay at room temp after they’re all done?
Lori Giauque says
Question- your recipe calls for a cake mix and oil and eggs. Is the oil and eggs in addition to the ones used in the cake mix?
Heidi Medina says
So I made these yesterday and I failed somewhere lol you say use 2 eggs so the box of cake mix call for 3 eggs and oil and water so I just did the 2 eggs and oil no water and they were so flat and spread all over 😂😂😢 what did I do wrong??
Sharon Ehlen says
Dear Lizzie, Love to see all your new ideas. You are amazing. Still wish ;you had been a part of our family. As you are probably aware, David passed away in November. It is still so very hard. My love and blessings to you Sharon Ehlen Grandmother
August says
This looks amazing. I will definitely try it out.
Aimee says
This didn’t really work for us. The cookies were too soft even though we baked them 7 min.
Mary Aiken says
I’m so glad I tried this, and I’m also glad that someone else have the same problem that I had. I did exactly as the recipe called, Pillsberry devil’s food cake mix, two eggs, and 1/3 cup oil, and cooked them seven minutes, that’s the longest time mentioned, and they were not done. i’ve tried it twice more since then and the best time for me is 11 to 12 minutes at 350° and they are perfect.
