Ingredients

Steps

  • 1
    Heat oven to 350°F. In large bowl, mix cookie mix, cocoa, softened butter, water and egg with spoon until soft dough forms.
  • 2
    Shape into 36 (1 1/4-inch) balls. Roll balls in powdered sugar. Place balls 2 inches apart on ungreased cookies sheets.
  • 3
    Bake 8 to 10 minutes or until tops are cracked and edges are set. Cool 1 minute; remove from cookie sheet to cooling rack. Cool completely, about 20 minutes. Sprinkle with additional powdered sugar, if desired. Store in airtight container at room temperature.

Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1
    If using 20% more sugar cookie mix (21 oz size), increase water in the recipe to 3 tablespoons. This will make 44 cookies.
  • tip 2
    Make sure your dough balls are the same size to keep your baking time consistent. We love using a cookie scoop to form the dough balls before rolling them in the powdered sugar.
