This is a super easy recipe for Cake Mix Snickerdoodles

First things first, these Cake Mix Snickerdoodles may be the easiest cookies I have EVER made! They are also some of the tastiest. This recipe includes cake mix (yes, actual cake mix). Snickerdoodles have never been better…

Snickerdoodles are easily some of the most visually appealing cookies around. They may all look alike, but not at all snickerdoodles are created equally… for example, throwing cake mix into the fold.

The recipe yields smaller but thicker cookies than normal. Perfect snack size!

Surprisingly, these cookies had a great texture, not cakey like they would seem. A true cookie crunches when you bite into it, just like these!

I’m fairly sure these Cake Mix Snickerdoodles set a record in my house… they were gone in three hours. Most of that was due to me (oops), but the rest of my family loved them too.

Making these cookies was a breeze, which was helpful because my schedule has been packed lately with lacrosse and school. Enjoy!

My cookie mixture couldn’t be rolled into balls because the mixture was not stiff enough. I used the exact ingredients. I had to spoon the mixture on the cookie sheet and sprinkle with the cinnamon/sugar mixture.

Can't I use regular white cake mix instead?
