By Betty Crocker Kitchens
Updated Mar 7, 2023

Ingredients

  • 1 box (15.25 oz) Betty Crocker™ Super Moist™ Devil's Food Cake Mix
  • 1/3 cup vegetable oil
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • Powdered sugar

Steps

  • 1
    Heat oven to 350°F (325°F for dark or nonstick cookie sheets). In large bowl, stir dry cake mix, oil, eggs and vanilla with spoon until dough forms.
  • 2
    Refrigerate dough 15 to 30 minutes, or as needed for easier handling. Shape dough into 1-inch balls. Roll balls in powdered sugar. On ungreased cookie sheets, place balls about 2 inches apart.
  • 3
    Bake 9 to 11 minutes or until set. Cool 1 minute; remove from cookie sheets to cooling rack. Cool completely, about 30 minutes. Store tightly covered.

Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1
    To make cookies the same size, measure 2 teaspoons dough to shape into balls or use a small ice-cream scoop. Measuring the dough before shaping will make cookies about the same size and ensure that cookies in a batch are done at the same time.
  • tip 2
    Get the kids to help with this cookie favorite. They'll love to shape the dough into cookies.
  • tip 3
    Cookies turn out best when baked one cookie sheet at a time on middle oven rack. Allow cookie sheet to cool completely between batches. If cookie sheet is too warm, cookies may spread.

More About This Recipe

  • The attractive crinkly texture characterizing this cookie is the result of a cookie top that’s set before the rest of the cookie dough has had a chance to spread on the pan. Many people refer to this as the top drying out prior to spread, but there is nothing dry about this cake-mix crinkle cookie. It’s moist, chewy and made with just a few simple ingredients. If sinfully fudgy chocolate crinkle cookies aren’t your thing, Betty has tons of other easy cake-mix cookie recipes for you to try. And if you want a perfect cookie every time, Betty’s cookie cheat sheet will tell you all you need to know about baking the perfect cookie.
