Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 box white cake mix
- 2 eggs
- 1/3 cup vegetable oil
Flavor Enhancers:
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
Coating/Decoration:
- 1/3 cup powdered sugar
- Red and green food coloring gel (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the baking environment by heating the oven to 375F (190C) and lining a baking sheet with parchment paper or silicone mat.
- In a spacious mixing bowl, thoroughly combine eggs, oil, vanilla extract, and cake mix until a uniform dough forms.
- For festive variations, separate the dough into two portions and incorporate food coloring (red or green) by gently folding until evenly distributed.
- Refrigerate the prepared dough for a minimum of 30 minutes to enhance texture and facilitate easier handling.
- Using a cookie scoop, create uniform dough balls and generously coat each with powdered sugar. If the mixture appears excessively sticky, incorporate an additional tablespoon of flour to achieve proper consistency.
- Arrange the sugar-coated dough balls on the prepared baking sheet, maintaining adequate spacing between each cookie.
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 9-11 minutes until edges become slightly crisp and centers remain soft.
- Allow cookies to rest on the baking sheet for 1-2 minutes to stabilize, then carefully transfer to a wire cooling rack for complete cooling.
Notes
- Ensure precise measurements for consistent cookie texture, as slight variations can impact the final result.
- Chill dough thoroughly to prevent spreading and maintain a perfect crinkle shape during baking.
- Use gel food coloring for more vibrant colors without altering the dough’s consistency.
- Experiment with different cake mix flavors to create unique seasonal or themed cookies that surprise and delight.
