Ingredients
  

For the Cookies:
  • 1 box yellow cake mix
  • ½ cup vegetable oil
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp cream of tartar
  • ¾ cup sugar
  • 1 Tbsp ground cinnamon

Equipment

  • Mixing bowl

  • Baking sheet
  • Parchment paper
  • Whisk or spoon

Method
 

Baking Instructions:
  1. Step 1: Preheat Your Oven - Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). This ensures that your cookies bake evenly and come out perfectly golden.
  2. Step 2: Mix the Wet Ingredients - In a large mixing bowl, combine the yellow cake mix, vegetable oil, and eggs. Mix well until everything is fully combined and smooth.
  3. Step 3: Add the Dry Ingredients - Stir in the cream of tartar, sugar, and ground cinnamon. Mix until a soft dough forms. The dough will be a bit sticky, but that’s okay!
  4. Step 4: Roll the Dough - Using your hands, scoop out small portions of dough (about 1 tablespoon each) and roll them into balls.
  5. Step 5: Prepare the Cinnamon Sugar Coating - In a small bowl, mix together the remaining sugar and ground cinnamon. Roll each dough ball in this mixture until fully coated.
  6. Step 6: Bake - Place the coated dough balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden.
  7. Step 7: Cool and Enjoy - Once baked, remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy your delicious Cake Mix Snickerdoodles warm or at room temperature!
