MAKES

COOK TIME
10 Min

When it comes to simple cookie recipes, this one can't be beat. Start with cake mix and in a few easy steps, end up with a freshly baked batch of Snickerdoodles! 

What You'll Need

  • 2 tablespoon sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 (18-1/4-ounce) package white cake mix (see Note)
  • 1 stick butter, melted
  • 1 egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

What to Do

  1. Heat oven to 350 degrees F. In a small bowl, mix together sugar and cinnamon; set aside.
  2. In a large bowl, mix together cake mix, butter, egg, and vanilla with a spoon until dough forms. (Some dry mix will remain.) Shape dough into 1-inch balls.
  3. Roll balls in sugar mixture, then place about 2 inches apart on ungreased baking sheets.
  4. Bake 10 to 12 minutes, or until set. Remove from baking sheets to cooling racks.

Notes

We tested this recipe with both the 18.25 ounce box as well as a 15.25 ounce box of cake mix and both batches of cookies came out the same. Either size box will work for this recipe.
