CAKE MIX CRINKLE COOKIES
Cake Mix Crinkle Cookies are an easy and fun dessert made from cake mix, giving you a soft, chewy cookie with a delicious crinkled appearance. With just a few ingredients, they come together quickly and are perfect for any occasion!
Ingredients
- 1 box 15.25 oz cake mix (any flavor, but chocolate or vanilla works best)
- 2 large eggs
- ½ cup vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract optional
- ¼ cup powdered sugar for rolling
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Make the cookie dough:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the cake mix, eggs, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract. Stir until the dough is well combined and smooth. The dough will be thick.
Roll the dough:
- Scoop out tablespoon-sized portions of dough and roll them into balls.
- Roll each dough ball in powdered sugar until it is fully coated.
Bake the cookies:
- Place the coated dough balls onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set and the tops have cracked. The cookies should be soft in the center.
Cool and serve:
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- You can use any cake mix flavor for these cookies—chocolate, vanilla, red velvet, or even lemon for a fun twist.
- For added flavor, mix in some chocolate chips, sprinkles, or nuts into the dough before rolling.
- If you like your cookies a little thicker, chill the dough for 30 minutes before baking.
- These cookies are best stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4-5 days.
