Description

These easy gingerbread crinkle cookies with cake mix are chewy, soft, and perfect for Christmas!


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • Spice Cake Mix: 1 box
  • Ground Ginger: 2 teaspoons
  • Ground Cinnamon: 1 teaspoon
  • Molasses: 1/4 cup
  • Vegetable Oil: 1/4 cup
  • Vanilla Extract: 1 teaspoon
  • Eggs: 2
  • Powdered Sugar: 1/2 cup

Instructions

  1. Prepare: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and prepare two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. Mix: To a large bowl, whisk the cake mix, ginger, and cinnamon. Add the molasses, vegetable oil, vanilla, and eggs and mix with an electric hand mixer until combined. Chill for 30 minutes (this will make the batter thicker, less sticky, and easier to work with).
  3. Bake: Scoop 1-inch-sized balls of batter and drop them into a separate bowl of powdered sugar. Once coated, roll in your hand for a few seconds until the excess powder has fallen off (it's normal for cracks to occur while you do this). Place 1 inch apart on the baking sheet and bake for 9-11 minutes.
