Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 box (15.25 oz / 432 g) cake mix
- 2 large eggs
- ⅓ cup (80 ml) vegetable oil
Coating:
- ½ cup (60 g) powdered sugar
Flavor Enhancer:
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Prepare workspace by lining baking sheets with parchment paper and positioning oven rack in the center position.
- Create cookie base by whisking together cake mix, eggs, oil, and vanilla extract until a uniform, tacky mixture develops.
- Create a powdered sugar coating station using a shallow, wide bowl filled with fine white sugar.
- Craft individual cookie portions by scooping uniform dough balls using a measuring spoon or cookie scoop.
- Thoroughly enrobe each dough sphere in powdered sugar, ensuring complete and generous coverage with a gentle rolling motion.
- Arrange sugar-coated dough balls on prepared baking sheets, maintaining consistent spacing to allow proper expansion during baking.
- Transfer cookie-laden sheets into preheated oven and bake until edges become firm and surfaces develop characteristic crackled texture.
- Remove cookies from oven and permit brief resting period directly on baking sheet to stabilize structural integrity.
- Carefully transfer cookies onto wire cooling rack, allowing complete cooling and sugar coating to set perfectly.
Notes
- Always sift powdered sugar for smoother, more even coating and prevent lumpy surfaces on cookies.
- Use different cake mix flavors like chocolate, red velvet, or funfetti to create unique cookie variations.
- Chill the dough for 30 minutes before rolling in powdered sugar for easier handling and more defined crinkle effect.
- Store cookies in airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days, separating layers with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
