Ingredients
 

  • 1 box Devil’s Food Cake Mix, choose your fave brand
  • 1/3 cup Vegetable Oil
  • 2 large Eggs
  • Confectioner’s or icing Sugar, enough for rolling the cookie dough in

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 375 F.
    Mix all the ingredients together (except the icing sugar) by hand until a dough forms. Chill the dough for about an hour in the fridge.
  • Shape the dough into balls at least 1½-inch in size. Use a rounded tablespoon. for easier measurement. Scoop the dough and fill the tablespoon (use a measuring spoon, not s serving spoon) to almost double the amount. To eliminate extra oil from the dough I roll them on paper towels after shaping them. You can also leave them out to dry for about 10 minutes in the fridge. These extra steps are employed to ensure that the sugar coating won't be totally absorbed by the oil while baking.
  • Roll the balls in the confectioner's (icing) sugar. Be very generous with the coating; roll each dough ball a few times to ensure a thick coating. This will ensure the sugar prints remain this achieving that crinkled/crackled look. Place each ball about 2 inches apart on an ungreased cookie sheet(s).
  • Bake for about 8-10 minutes or just until set. Do not overbake. Remove from the cookie sheets after 2-3 minutes and let cool on the wire rack completely. Enjoy while warm-ish but it's also quite yummy at room temperature.
