Servings: 36 cookies
Ingredients
- 13.25 ounces Betty Crocker Spice Cake Mix (if using a 15.25 oz. box, increase butter to 1/2 cup)
- 1 3/4 teaspoons Ground Cinnamon
- 1/3 cup Melted Butter (Vegetable or Canola Oil can be substituted)
- 2 large Eggs
- 2/3 cup Powdered Sugar
Instructions
- Gather your ingredients.
- Whisk together Cake Mix and Cinnamon in large mixing bowl.
- Add in Melted Butter (or oil) and Eggs, and mix with hand mixer or stand mixer until well combined.
- Cover dough and chill in refrigerator for 2 hours.
- After dough has chilled, preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Line large baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Roll cookie dough into 1 tablespoon sized rounded balls.
- Then roll each ball in powdered sugar until well coated. (The key to perfect crinkles is small dough balls with lots of powdered sugar coating them.)
- Transfer cookie dough balls to cookie sheet.
- Bake on center oven rack for 7 - 13 minutes, or until done. (Note: Bake on the shorter end of the time range for non-stick cookie sheets & longer end of the time range for aluminum cookie sheets.)
- Remove from oven and allow to cool on cookie sheets for 5 minutes.
- Transfer cookies to wire racks to finish cooling, and ENJOY!
Notes
- *Spice Cake Mix Substitution: If you can't find a spice cake mix, try this as a substitute: Use a Yellow Cake Mix, and whisk in the following: 1 3/4 tsp. Ground Cinnamon, 1/2 tsp. Ground Ginger, 1/4 tsp Ground Nutmeg, 1/4 tsp. Ground Cloves.
- Butter: When it comes to Cake Mix Cookies, salted or unsalted butter can be used, as the cake mix will have a little salt in it. However, I've found that salted butter will result in superior flavor.
- Make Ahead Baking Tips: Cake mix cookies are SO easy to start making ahead of time! The cookie dough can be made today, then stored covered in your refrigerator up to 2 days prior to baking your cookies.
- How To Store: After your cookies have baked and cooled, they can be stored at room temperature, simply covered in an airtight container, for up to 3 days.
