It’s officially time for holiday baking! I la-la-love all of the extra holiday items that pop up on the shelves at the end of the year. There are so may desserts just begging to be made. I’ve always been a fan of the Pillsbury® products and they certainly don’t disappoint in the holiday department.
Just look at their adorable sprinkles from the Funfetti Vanilla Frosting. The red and green are vibrant, wonderfully shaped, and hold up well in a 350 degree oven. I love the contrast that the bright colors bring against the Devil’s Food Cake Mix. Wouldn’t they look great on a plate for Santa?
You can doctor up this cake mix into cookies and no one will ever know that they’re not 100% homemade! It’ll be our little secret. After all, we need all the time we can get during the holiday season.
These cookies are full of chocolate flavor. I’d recommend using an oil that you like the taste of. I used extra virgin olive oil and the taste came through pretty easily. Perhaps a vegetable oil would be more tame? Or a coconut oil if you’re a fan of coconut flavor?
I just rolled the tops in the sprinkles since decorating the bottom of a cookie seemed pointless to me. Who looks at the bottom of a cookie? I’m too busy gobbling it down. Here are some of the other Pillsbury products that you can find this holiday season:

Did everyone have a wonderful turkey day? I hope so! As always, I’m pretty sure I overdid it and bit off more than I can chew… literally! I woke up this morning still full. That didn’t stop me from eating leftovers for breakfast, though.
Just in case you still have some cornbread leftover from last night, here’s a great way to use it up! Another bonus: you could also make an easier version of this with leftover mashed potatoes if you have some of that leftover as well.
I’m totally guilty for making cornbread from a box, but it tastes homemade! Seriously. It’s easy to make and saves time when you’re trying to figure out how to make the rest of the dinner (story of my life). It definitely tastes better than if you were to buy it from the store because you can enjoy them warm from the oven. They’re fluffy, full of flavor, and have plenty of corn.
You can shape them into however you want: muffins, mini muffins, or loaves. Get creative and use a fun pan for animal shaped cornbread!
You can find where to buy Fleischmann’s Simply Homemade Cornbread mix here. There’s also plenty of recipes to spice up your normal cornbread recipe.
