1
package Betty Crocker® SuperMoist® white cake mix
1/2
cup butter or margarine, melted
1
egg
2
tablespoons sugar
1
teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 Heat oven to 350°F (325°F for dark or nonstick cookie sheets). Mix cake mix, butter and egg in large bowl with spoon until dough forms (some dry mix will remain).
  • 2 Shape dough into 1-inch balls. Mix sugar and cinnamon in small bowl. Roll balls in cinnamon-sugar mixture. Place about 2 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheet.
  • 3 Bake 10 to 12 minutes or until set. Remove from cookie sheet to cooling rack.

Expert Tips

French vanilla cake mix is a great stand-in for the white cake mix.

For Super Snickerdoodles, shape dough into 1 1/2-inch balls and place them 3 inches apart on the cookie sheet; bake 12 to 14 minutes. You’ll get about 26 large cookies.

This sweet little cookie with the whimsical name originated in 19th-century New England and has become an American classic. In this recipe, cake mix provides convenience to the traditional version, but the method of rolling the dough in sugar and cinnamon before baking has been kept.

    These cookies came out beautifully, just exactly like the picture, but the taste was another story. Like many here, I found them not only to be too sweet, but the cake mix really really came through and tasted very strange. My husband liked them but I was not a fan, and we ended up throwing out half the batch. I used the plain white Betty Crocker cake mix. Maybe it would be better with another type of mix?

    It is a bit too sweet, but for a tasty cookie in a pinch -,you can beat these ! I would reduce the sugar by half next time and increase the cinnamon by half- I love cinnamon! These were yummy-made 20. Would definitely make again - it is a great use of cake mix! Oh and I did add 1 tsp of cream of tartar-not sure that it made a difference, but it dd not hurt it either, so I would add again next time just in case....
