Ingredients
Cookie Dough
- 1 box Devil’s Food cake mix (typically 15.25 oz)
- ½ cup vegetable oil
- 2 large eggs
Coating
- Powdered sugar or granulated sugar (for rolling)
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) to warm up while you prepare the cookie dough.
- Make the Dough: In a large mixing bowl, combine the Devil’s Food cake mix, vegetable oil, and eggs. Stir until a soft dough forms, ensuring all ingredients are fully incorporated.
- Shape the Cookies: Scoop the dough into 1-inch balls using a spoon or cookie scoop. Dust your hands lightly with sugar to prevent the dough from sticking as you shape.
- Coat with Sugar: Roll each dough ball thoroughly in powdered sugar or granulated sugar, coating evenly for that sweet, snowy finish.
- Prepare to Bake: Arrange the coated dough balls on an ungreased baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading.
- Bake the Cookies: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 8–10 minutes. The centers should be just set but still soft.
- Cool: After baking, let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for one minute. Then transfer them carefully to a wire rack to cool completely before serving or storing.
Notes
- Using powdered sugar for rolling creates a soft, melt-in-your-mouth texture, while granulated sugar adds a slight crunch.
- Ensure not to overbake; cookies should be soft in the center for perfect chewiness.
- You can experiment by adding flavor extracts such as vanilla or almond to the dough for variety.
- Store baked cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
- This dough can also be chilled before baking for thicker cookies, if desired.
