Cake Mix Crinkle Cookies: The 3-Ingredient, 15-Minute Cookie Revolution


  • Author: WAFA LI

Ingredients

• 1 box (15.25 oz) chocolate or red velvet cake mix (any brand)
• ⅓ cup vegetable oil or melted coconut oil
• 2 large eggs
• ½ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (optional, for extra chocolate)
• Powdered sugar (for rolling)


Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a bowl, combine cake mix, oil, and eggs. Mix until well blended (dough will be thick). Fold in chocolate chips if using.
  3. Roll tablespoon-sized balls of dough in powdered sugar until fully coated.
  4. Place on trays and flatten slightly with your palm or the bottom of a glass.
  5. Bake 8–10 minutes, until tops are cracked and edges are set.
  6. Let cool on the tray 5 minutes—they’ll firm up as they cool. Then transfer to a wire rack.

Perfect for:
• Holiday cookie swaps
• Last-minute treats
• Kids’ baking fun

💡 Festive variations:
→ Use red velvet cake mix + white chocolate chips + red sprinkles
→ Use yellow cake mix + rainbow sprinkles for birthday-style
→ Roll in cinnamon-sugar instead of powdered sugar
