Scale
Cake Mix Crinkle Cookies
Main Ingredients:
- 1 box (15.25 ounces / 432 grams) cake mix (any flavor, such as chocolate, lemon, or red velvet)
- 2 large eggs
- ⅓ cup (80 milliliters) vegetable oil
Coating Ingredient:
- ½ cup (60 grams) powdered sugar
Additional Flavor Ingredient:
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
Instructions
- Craft the perfect baking environment by warming the oven to 350F (175C). Strategically line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats for optimal cookie preparation.
- In a spacious mixing vessel, amalgamate the cake mix, eggs, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract. Whisk vigorously until a cohesive, malleable dough emerges with a consistent texture.
- Create a powdery coating station by depositing the powdered sugar into a wide, shallow receptacle.
- Utilize a tablespoon or compact cookie scoop to portion the dough. Gently roll each portion into spherical shapes approximately one inch in diameter. Lavishly enrobe each dough sphere in the powdered sugar, ensuring comprehensive coverage for a classic crinkle effect.
- Arrange the sugar-dusted dough orbs on prepared baking sheets, maintaining generous spacing between each cookie. Position in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, watching for characteristic crinkled tops and slightly firmed edges.
- Once removed from the oven, allow cookies to rest momentarily on baking sheets. After 2-3 minutes, delicately transfer the delicate treats to a wire cooling rack, permitting them to reach ambient temperature and solidify their delectable texture.
Notes
- Customize your crinkle cookies by experimenting with different cake mix flavors like chocolate, red velvet, or funfetti for unique variations.
- Prevent sticky dough by chilling it in the refrigerator for 30 minutes before rolling, which helps the balls hold their shape and creates more defined crinkles.
- Use a light touch when rolling in powdered sugar to achieve a beautiful snow-like coating without clumping or creating thick layers.
- For gluten-free options, swap regular cake mix with a gluten-free cake mix and ensure all ingredients are certified gluten-free to accommodate dietary restrictions.
