How to Make Them
To make this cake mix version of snickerdoodles, start by lining a cookie sheet with parchment paper and set aside. Heat oven to 350°F and gather your ingredients. On a shallow plate or small bowl, combine sugar and cinnamon and set aside. In a large mixing bowl, combine boxed cake mix, melted butter, egg, and vanilla. Stir until well combined and be careful not to over mix.
Use a spoon or cookie scoop to shape dough into 1-inch balls. Roll cookie dough balls in the cinnamon sugar mixture until well coated. Place cookies 2 inches apart on the baking sheet. Leave them as is or gently use the bottom of a glass to flatten the cookies before baking. Bake the cookies for 10-12 minutes, until the bottoms begin to turn golden brown. Cool cookies on the cookie sheet for about 5 minutes, then move to a wire rack to cool to room temperature. This will help ensure they do not overbake. Dust cookies with a sprinkle of cinnamon if desired and serve.
Storage Tips
These delicious cookies can be stored on the counter in an airtight container for 2-5 days.
