Ingredients

Cookie Dough

  • 1 box white cake mix (about 15.25 oz)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/3 cup vegetable oil
  • food coloring (your choice of colors)

Coating

  • 1/3 cup powdered sugar

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Dough: In a medium bowl, combine the cake mix, vegetable oil, and eggs. Mix thoroughly until a smooth dough forms. Divide the dough into halves, and add your desired food coloring to each portion, kneading until the color is fully incorporated.
  2. Chill the Dough: Wrap the colored dough portions in plastic wrap or place them under a lid, then refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. Meanwhile, preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  3. Form the Cookies: Once chilled, scoop tablespoon-sized pieces of dough and roll each into a ball. Coat the dough balls generously in powdered sugar, ensuring they are well covered. Place them spaced apart on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  4. Bake the Cookies: Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for approximately 8 minutes. Baking time may vary slightly depending on the size of your cookies. The edges should be set but the centers remain soft.
  5. Cool and Serve: Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy your colorful and delicious crinkle cookies!

Notes

  • You can mix multiple colors for a swirl effect before chilling the dough.
  • Ensure the dough is well chilled to prevent spreading during baking.
  • Use white cake mix for the most vibrant color results, but yellow or funfetti mixes can add interesting flavors.
  • For a softer cookie, avoid baking beyond 8-9 minutes.
  • Store cookies in an airtight container for up to 5 days to maintain freshness.
