Ingredients
– 1 box (15.25 oz) chocolate cake mix Base for the dough, providing rich flavor
– 1/3 cup canola or vegetable oil Adds moisture and helps bind the ingredients
– 2 eggs Bind the mix and add structure
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract Enhances the overall taste
– 1/4 cup powdered sugar For rolling to create the crinkle effect
Instructions
1-First Step: In a large bowl, mix the chocolate cake mix, oil, eggs, and vanilla extract until a dough forms; this usually takes just a few minutes by hand.
2-Second Step: Chill the dough for 20 minutes in the fridge to make it easier to handle and shape.
3-Third Step: Shape the dough into 1-inch balls and roll each one thoroughly in powdered sugar for that signature crinkle effect.
4-Fourth Step: Place the balls about 2 inches apart on an ungreased cookie sheet. For more baking ideas, try our cinnamon bread for a cozy twist on homemade treats.
