Step By Step Instructions

Cinnamon sugar mixture combined in a bowl.

Step 1. Get out a small bowl and combine sugar and cinnamon with a spoon.

Large bowl with cake mix, eggs and oil combined.

Step 2. Use a separate large bowl and combine cake mix, eggs and oil. The batter will be thick but that is normal.

Step 4. Then roll balls in the cinnamon-sugar mixture.

Step 5. Then place the cookie dough balls on prepared cookie sheets lined with parchment paper.

Step 6. Use a glass to flatten the cookies out slightly.

Cookies baked and cooling on baking sheet.

Step 7. Finally, bake the cookies for 8 to 10 minutes. The edges of the cookies should brown slightly.

Step 8. Let the cookies set for 5 minutes. Then move the cookies with a spatula to a cooling rack to cool completely.

Storage

Store the leftover cookies in an airtight container or bag up to 1 week. I keep a piece of bread in the container with the cookies to keep them moist.

You can also freeze the cookies for prolonged storage. I prefer to freeze the cookie dough. Flash freeze the dough balls on a baking sheet for 1 to 2 hours.

Then transfer to a freezer bag or container. They won’t stick together with this method. When ready to enjoy, bake as normal but allow a few extra minutes to the cooking time.

Pro Tips

Don’t overbake the cookies. They will continue to set on the baking sheet.
Refrigerate the dough if needed. While you don’t need to chill the cookie dough, you can if needed. If the dough is sticky, refrigerate to make it easier to manage.
Use a cookie scoop. It makes it easier to form the cookies and they will all be uniform.
Line the pan. I love to use silicone baking mats.
Try other cake mix flavors. Feel free to substitute other types of cake mix. White cake mix is also good.
