Ingredients Needed

• Yellow cake mix: or white cake mix
• Olive oil: or vegetable oil
• Eggs
• Cinnamon and sugar: for rolling the snickerdoodles

How to make cake mix snickerdoodles

Step 1: Pour the box of yellow cake mix into a mixing bowl. Add the eggs and oil to the cake mix. Use a hand mixer to beat together the cookie batter until combined.

Step 2: Cover the bowl of cookie dough with cling wrap and chill for 1 hour in the refrigerator.

Recipe Tip

Chilling the batter will make it super easier to roll in the cinnamon sugar once it has firmed up. It also allows the cookies to stay puffy, and not spread and go flat.

Step 3: In a small bowl, mix together the sugar and cinnamon. Once the batter has chilled, roll the dough into balls, then drop one by one into the cinnamon sugar mixture, rolling it around to cover all of the sides.

Step 4: Place the rolled balls of dough onto a nonstick baking sheet. Bake the snickerdoodles at 350 degrees for 10-11 minutes.

Remove the cookies from the pan and place on a wire cooling rack to cool.

These cake mix snickerdoodles were so soft, perfect amount of chewiness, and tasted just like the classic favorite I grew up eating.

I gave some to my neighbor and she couldn’t believe they were not the totally homemade version!

This would be a great kid friendly recipe to bake with your little ones too! Perfect for little hands that love to help.
