How to make these Chocolate Christmas Crinkle Cookies with a Cake Mix

First, preheat your oven to 350 degrees and then line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Next, add the cake mix, melted butter, eggs, vanilla, and chocolate syrup to a bowl and mix well.

Then, mix in the chocolate chips.

Now, use a cookie scoop to create the cookie dough balls.

(I used the 2 tablespoon cookie scoop.)

Next, roll each cookie dough in powdered sugar to fully coat it.

Space the powdered sugar coated cookie dough balls on the baking sheet about 1 1/2″ to 2″ apart.

Bake the cookies for 11 minutes.

Once they are baked, allow them to cool completely on the baking sheet.

Finally, once the cookies have cooled, you can move them to a cooling rack. Serve and ENJOY!

Chocolate Christmas Crinkle Cookies with a Cake Mix

Yields: 14 cookies
Preparation time: 12 minutes
Baking time: 11 minutes
Additional time: 10 minutes

Ingredients:
1 box of chocolate cake mix (Betty Crocker Devils Food Cake Mix, 15.25 oz)
6 tablespoons of unsalted butter, melted
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 teaspoon chocolate syrup
1/2 cup miniature chocolate chips
1/2 cup powdered sugar

Directions:
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
In a medium sized mixing bowl, combine the cake mix, melted butter, eggs, vanilla, and chocolate syrup together until mixed well.
Add the miniature chocolate chips and stir until combined.
Use a two tablespoon cookie scoop and create cookie dough balls.
Place each cookie dough ball in the powdered sugar and coat well.
Place the covered cookie dough balls on the prepared baking sheet about 1 1/2” – 2” apart.
Bake for 11 minutes.
Remove from the oven and let cool completely on the baking sheet.

Notes:
● Cookies can be stored for up to 5 days at room temperature in an airtight container.
● Do not add more powdered sugar after baking or they will lose their “crinkle” effect

What makes cookies crinkle?

The powdered sugar coating! The cookie spreads out as it bakes, creating a “cracked” look. I love how unique and fun these cookies are!

Does my Crinkle Cookie Dough need to be chilled?

This recipe does not have to be chilled since it’s made from a cake mix. You can scoop the cookie dough balls and bake immediately after coating in powdered sugar.

However, some crinkle cookie doughs do need to be refrigerated to achieve the crinkle look on the top.

Can I use granulated sugar on my Crinkle Cookies instead of powdered or confectioners sugar?

Yes! Granulated sugar can also be used to make crinkle cookies. You won’t get as much of a “snowball” effect, but the cookies will look glazed with a crunchy shell .
