Cake Mix Snickerdoodle Cookies
Description
This recipe takes a boxed yellow cake mix as a base and adds ground cinnamon and cream of tartar to emulate traditional snickerdoodle flavors. The mixture of eggs, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract results in a soft cookie dough that rests before being rolled in cinnamon sugar. Baking at 350 degrees F sets the edges while keeping the cookies puffy and tender inside, offering a pleasant contrast in texture.
Once baked, the cookies are cooled on the baking sheet briefly before transferring to a wire rack, which helps maintain their softness. These cookies can be stored in an airtight container for up to two weeks or frozen for longer storage, retaining their texture and cinnamon flavor.
Ingredients
- 15.25 ounces yellow cake mix (1 box)
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon divided
- ½ teaspoon cream of tartar
- ¼ cup vegetable oil
- 2 egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper, a silicone baking mat, or non-stick cooking spray.
- Add cake mix 1 teaspoon cinnamon, and cream of tartar to a large mixing bowl. Stir to combine.
- Add eggs vanilla, and oil to dry ingredients and mix with a wooden spoon until completely combined.
- Let dough rest for 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, mix the sugar and 2 teaspoons cinnamon in a small dowl.
- Once the cookie dough is ready, use a cookie scoop or tablespoon to portion the dough. Roll the dough into 1-inch balls and then roll the balls in cinnamon-sugar until coated.
- Place coated dough balls on prepared baking sheets, leaving 2-inches between cookies. They will spread.
- Bake for about 12 minutes until the edges are slightly set. The cookies will still look puffy and soft.
- Remove from oven and allow to cool for 5 minutes on the baking sheet. Then transfer the cookies to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Store extra cookies in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks to maintain softness.
- Freeze cookies for several months to extend shelf life without losing flavor.
