How to make cake mix spice cookies

Step 1: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Mix together the spice cake mix, eggs, and oil until combined.

The batter should be thick, and a little sticky.

Step 2: Roll the cookie batter into balls and roll each ball in the granulated sugar, then place on a baking sheet.

Step 3: Bake the spice cookies at 350 degrees for 10-12 minutes, or until lightly browned on the bottom.

Step 4: Allow the cookies to sit on the cookie sheet for 1-2 minutes before removing onto a wire cooling rack to cool completely.

These cookies have the best soft melt in your mouth spice taste and the sugar adds a little crunchy texture on top. So delicious you won’t be able to stop at just one!
