INGREDIENTS

- 1 pack Lemon cake mix

- 2 large eggs

- 1/2 cup vegetable oil

- 1 cup powdered sugar

DIRECTIONS

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside.

2. Place the eggs and vegetable oil in a large bowl and whisk until combined. Sift cake mix into the egg mixture to break up any large clumps. Mix until all of the dry ingredients are moistened and a dough forms.

3. Pour the powdered sugar into a shallow bowl. Scoop the dough into 2 tablespoon portions and form into balls. Toss the balls gently in the powdered sugar until completely and generously coated. Arrange on the prepared baking sheets - about 12 per sheet.

4. Refrigerate until cool to the touch, 15 to 20 minutes. If the cookies absorb the powdered sugar, roll in the powder again to coat.

5. Bake until the cookies are set, about 10 minutes. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 2 minutes. Transfer the cookies to wire cooling racks and cool completely.

**I also used this recipe but substituted the lemon cake mix for red velvet, strawberry, and devils food cake mixes to make different flavors of crinkle cookies!
