I made these chocolate crinkle cookies. They were just wonderful. Am so anxious to put these on my Christmas cookie tray. I’m gonna try others that you have posted. Merry Christmas .
Heidi says
I’m so glad to hear you loved the chocolate crinkles, Opal! 🙂
Veronica says
How long do you think they will keep in an air tight container?
Heidi says
Hi Veronica ~ they will be best if enjoyed within the first 3 days of baking.
Tuesday says
Can you make lemon ones the same way?
Heidi says
Yes… you’ll just swap out the chocolate cake mix for a lemon cake mix to make Lemon Crinkles. 🙂
Christie says
I love the look and sound of these delicious chocolate crinkle cookies! They would be gone in seconds at my house! YUM!
Heidi says
Right? The hardest part is definitely portion control!! 🙂
Aarthi | Prepbowls says
Hi Heidi! Wanted to make something quick for dessert, so tried this version of crinkle , and It came out great. We loved it.
Heidi says
Oh that’s so wonderful to hear, Aarthi… I’m so glad you loved the cookies!
Dorian says
Can you make this with brownie mix? I have 2 boxes I need to use up.
Heidi says
Hi Dorian ~ I honestly haven’t ever tried it that way, but if you do… let me know how they turn out!
Aimee says
Would you add water?? The box says to add water to the mix.
Heidi says
Hi Aimee ~ no… you will not want to follow the instructions on the box. Those are for making a cake. No water is needed. If making cake mix cookies, just follow the instructions on my recipe. Hope that helps! 🙂
Aimee says
Yes thank you!!! I accidentally added an additional egg, do you think that’s a problem ?!
Heidi says
You’re very welcome, Aimee!
About the extra egg… I’d either start over, or if you haven’t started mixing you can scoop it out if you’re still able to. Hope that helps! 🙂
Connie says
With regard to the cake mix cookie recipe, could butter be substituted for oil? Thank you.
Heidi says
Hi Connie ~ I recommend using oil in this recipe for the best result. 🙂
