Ingredients:

  • 1 box (15.25 oz / 432g) spice cake mix
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup (118ml) vegetable oil
  • 1/4 cup (50g) granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp (2.6g) ground cinnamon

Instructions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line your baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the spice cake mix, eggs, and vegetable oil.
  3. Mix using a spatula or mixer on medium speed until the batter is fully combined; the texture should be thick, slightly sticky, and uniform in color.
  4. In a shallow bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon.
  5. Using a cookie scoop, portion out the dough into 1.5-tablespoon balls.
  6. Drop each ball into the cinnamon-sugar mixture and roll until evenly coated, ensuring the ball remains spherical.
  7. Place the coated balls on the baking sheet, spacing them 2 inches apart.
  8. Bake for 9–11 minutes, removing them when the edges are set and barely golden, but the centers still look slightly soft.
  9. Allow cookies to cool on the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
