Valentine Crinkle Cookies
Description
This cookie recipe uses a boxed white cake mix as a base, enriched with oil, eggs, and white chocolate extract for flavor depth. The dough balls are generously rolled in white sanding sugar before baking, which forms the signature crinkled sugary surface and slight crunch on the exterior. Baking at 350°F for about 10-12 minutes yields cookies with a tender crumb and thin, soft texture inside.
After baking and a brief cooling period, each cookie is topped with a chocolate heart placed gently in the center. This addition adds a contrast of chocolate flavor and makes the cookies festive. Cooling fully before serving ensures the cookies hold their shape and the chocolates settle.
These cookies are suitable for gifting or serving at themed celebrations, with their combination of lightly sweetened cake-like texture and the added chocolate center providing variety in every bite.
Ingredients
- 1 white cake mix box
- 1/3 cup vegetable oil
- 2 egg large
