If you have a box of our Natural Grocers ® Brand Gluten Free Vanilla Cake Mix in your pantry, you have an easy recipe for cookies made your way. Here are three ways you can create special cookies for the holidays, whether you’re feeling snowy, “Grinchy,” or spicy!

• 1 box Natural Grocers Brand Gluten Free Vanilla Cake Mix • 3 Natural Grocers Brand Regenerative Organic Pasture-Raised Eggs • ½ cup organic butter, softened Ingredients Add Ins: For Snowy Cookies: ½ cup Natural Grocers Brand Bulk Organic Fine Shredded Coconut, plus 3 tablespoons coconut to sprinkle on top (per box of cake mix) For “Grinchy” Cookies: 2 tablespoons organic matcha powder (per box of cake mix) For Pecan Spice Cookies: Natural Grocers Brand Organic Bulk (per box of cake mix) • ½ cup Pecan Pieces

Instructions

1. In a stand mixer or in a large bowl using a hand mixer, mix the cake mix, eggs, butter, and add-in of your choice. 2. Scoop the cookie dough onto a parchment-lined cookie sheet using a two-tablespoon scoop. For Snowy Cookies, sprinkle coconut over the cookies as well. Once scooped, place the cookie sheet into the refrigerator for 30-60 minutes to prevent the cookies from spreading out when baked. 3. When ready to bake the cookies, preheat oven to 350°F. 4. Bake 12 cookies per baking sheet for 12-14 minutes, or until they no longer look wet on top. Work in batches if necessary, and keep the remaining dough in the refrigerator until ready to use. 5. Remove the cookies from the oven and let cool on the cookie sheet for 5 minutes, then move to a wire rack to cool completely. Store in an airtight container.
