Ingredients
Cookie Dough
- 1 box Devil’s Food cake mix (about 15.25 oz)
- ½ cup vegetable oil
- 2 large eggs
Coating
- Powdered sugar or granulated sugar (for rolling, about ½ cup)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it is hot and ready for baking.
- Make Dough: In a large mixing bowl, combine the Devil’s Food cake mix, vegetable oil, and eggs. Stir until the mixture forms a soft and uniform dough.
- Shape Cookies: Scoop the dough using a spoon or cookie scoop to make 1-inch balls. Dust your hands with sugar to prevent sticking while shaping the dough.
- Coat with Sugar: Roll each dough ball thoroughly in powdered sugar or granulated sugar to give the cookies a sweet, delicate coating.
- Arrange on Baking Sheet: Place the sugar-coated dough balls onto an ungreased baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow spreading.
- Bake: Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the centers are just set but still soft.
- Cool: Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 1 minute. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Using powdered or granulated sugar for rolling adds a sweet crust to the cookies and prevents sticking.
- Do not overbake; cookies should be soft in the center when removed to ensure chewiness.
- These cookies can be flavored further by adding spices such as cinnamon or mix-ins like chocolate chips before baking.
- Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
