Calories: 130kcal
Ingredients
- 1 white cake mix 15.25oz
- ½ cup unsalted butter melted
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon oil vegetable or any light tasting oil
Optional:
- 1 Tablespoon ground cinnamon
For the cinnamon sugar:
- 2 Tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F.
- Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside
- În a medium-size mixing bowl mix cake mix and cinnamon, if using, with a fork.
- Add eggs, oil, melted butter and mix well using a hand mixer or a spatula until cookie batter is combined.
- In a small bowl combine cinnamon sugar ingredients.
- Using a small ice cream scoop drop dough balls into the cinnamon sugar and roll with a spoon to coat with sugar.
- Place on the cookie sheet 2 inches apart.
- Bake in the oven anywhere from 9 - 13 minutes depending on how soft you want your cookies.
- Remove from oven and allow to cool for 10 minutes on the cookie sheets before removing.
Notes
- Cinnamon added to the cake mix will make your cookies darker with more cinnamon flavor, highly recommended but you can omit it if you want.
- If you skip the cinnamon, I recommend adding one teaspoon vanilla extract to the batter.
- The dough is very soft and will be hard to roll. That’s why you will drop them from the cookie scoop right into the cinnamon sugar.
- Oil in the batter helps cookies spread more in the oven and gives you a thinner Snickerdoodle. Omit if you like cake-like cookies, the dough will be more manageable and you can roll it between the palms of your hands.
- This recipe gives about 34 cookies with a small cookie scoop, give or take, depending on the size of the cookies.
