Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 box cake mix (any flavor)
- 2 eggs
- 1/3 cup (79 ml) vegetable oil
Coating Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup (60 g) powdered sugar
Instructions
- Prepare the oven by heating to 350F (175C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for optimal cookie performance.
- In a mixing bowl, thoroughly combine cake mix, eggs, and vegetable oil until the mixture forms a smooth, consistent dough.
- Using clean hands, gently shape the dough into compact, bite-sized spheres approximately 1-inch in diameter.
- Generously roll each dough ball through powdered sugar, ensuring complete and even coating for that classic crinkle appearance.
- Arrange the sugar-dusted dough balls on the prepared baking sheet, leaving slight spacing between each cookie to allow for spreading.
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 8-10 minutes, watching for slightly set edges and a soft, pillowy center.
- Remove from oven and let cookies rest on the baking sheet for 2-3 minutes to stabilize their structure.
- Carefully transfer cookies to a wire cooling rack, allowing them to cool completely and develop their signature crackled surface.
- Serve and savor these delightfully simple, melt-in-your-mouth cake mix crinkle cookies.
Notes
- Experiment with different cake mix flavors like chocolate, vanilla, or funfetti to create unique cookie variations.
- For a healthier twist, swap vegetable oil with unsweetened applesauce or Greek yogurt to reduce fat content.
- Chill the dough for 30 minutes before rolling to prevent sticky hands and ensure more uniform cookie shapes.
- Add extra flavor by mixing in chocolate chips, chopped nuts, or sprinkles into the dough before rolling.
