Ingredients
Scale
- 1 box yellow or vanilla cake mix
- 2 large eggs, room temperature
- 1/3 cup vegetable oil (or melted butter)
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- Optional: pinch of nutmeg
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine the cake mix, eggs, and vegetable oil. Stir until the dough forms and is smooth (it might be slightly sticky—that’s okay).
- In a small bowl, mix the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon to create the coating.
- Use a cookie scoop or tablespoon to portion out the dough. Roll each portion into a ball with your hands.
- Roll each dough ball in the cinnamon-sugar mixture, coating it evenly. Place the balls onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the cookies are set and slightly golden around the edges. Don’t overbake—these cookies are best when they stay soft.
- Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack.
Notes
[‘Chill the dough for 15-20 minutes if it feels sticky.’, ‘Use fresh cinnamon for a more robust flavor.’, ‘Don’t overbake to keep the cookies soft.’, ‘Double the cinnamon-sugar coating for extra flavor.’]
