Description
Delightfully easy red, white, and blue cake mix crinkle cookies perfect for celebrations!
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 box (15.25 oz) white cake mix
- 1/3 cup vegetable oil (or canola oil)
- 2 large eggs
- 3/4 cup powdered sugar
- Red gel food coloring
- Blue gel food coloring
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line two cookie sheets with parchment paper, a baking mat, or spray with cooking spray. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, using a hand mixer, beat together the cake mix, oil, and eggs until combined, about 1-2 minutes. Start on low speed and increase as needed.
- Divide the cookie batter between three separate bowls. Leave one bowl white, dye the second bowl blue, and the third red.
- Place the powdered sugar into a separate bowl or plate.
- Working with one color at a time, use a medium cookie scoop (1.5 tablespoons) to scoop the batter and roll into a ball. Repeat with the remaining colors – wash the cookie scoop between each color.
- Roll each dough ball in the powdered sugar, making sure to coat it well. Place 12 cookies per cookie sheet.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are set and the cookies look puffy.
- Remove them from the oven and let them cool on the warm baking sheet for 10 minutes. Move the cookies to a cooling rack to cool completely.
- Once cooled, lightly sprinkle additional powdered sugar over the cookies if desired.
Notes
- Ensure the cookies are well coated in powdered sugar for the best crinkle effect.
- Different food coloring brands may yield varying results, adjust to get the desired intensity.
- Store leftover cookies in an airtight container to keep them fresh.
