How to Make Snickerdoodles From Cake Mix

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius).
  2. In a large bowl, combine 1 box (15.25 ounces) yellow or white cake mix, 1/3 cup vegetable oil, 2 large eggs, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  3. Mix with an electric mixer or by hand until thoroughly combined and the dough forms a ball.
  4. In a separate small bowl, mix 1/4 cup granulated sugar and 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon.
  5. Roll the cookie dough into 1-inch balls.
  6. Roll each ball in the cinnamon-sugar mixture until completely coated.
  7. Place the cookies onto ungreased baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.
  8. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown. Keep a close eye to prevent burning.
  9. Remove from oven and let cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
