Cake mix Snickerdoodles:

3 tbsp sugar
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1 pkg Duncan Hines® Moist Deluxe® Classic Yellow Cake Mix
2 large eggs
1/4 cup vegetable oil

Preheat oven to 375 ºF. Grease cookie sheets.

Combine sugar and cinnamon in small bowl.

Combine cake mix, eggs and oil in large bowl. Stir until well blended. Shape dough into 1 inch balls. Roll in cinnamon-sugar mixture. Place balls 2-inches apart on cookie sheets. Flatten balls with bottom of glass.

Bake at 375 ºF for 8 to 9 minutes or until set. Cool one minute on cookie sheets. Remove to cooling rack to cool completely.

These are good and there are a ton of different cookies you can make w/ the cake mix. You can do chocolate, spice, strawberry, red velvet, etc...

If I am doing spice, red velvet, or carrot I stir in some white chocolate chips mmm so good!

Mexican Wedding Cookies (they look like little snow balls too, yummm)

Ingredients
1 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
1/2 cup confectioners’ sugar, plus more for coating baked cookies
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting hands
1 cup pecans, chopped into very small pieces

Directions
Preheat the oven to 275 degrees F. Line cookies sheets with parchment paper.

Using an electric mixer, cream the butter and sugar at low speed until it is smooth. Beat in the vanilla. At low speed gradually add the flour. Mix in the pecans with a spatula. With floured hands, take out about 1 tablespoon of dough and shape into a crescent. Continue to dust hands with flour as you make more cookies. Place onto prepared cookie sheets. Bake for 40 minutes. When cool enough to handle but still warm, roll in additional confectioners' sugar. Cool on wire racks.





Sounds so good thanks for the info kris10
