Gingerbread Crinkle Cookies

Tracy @ Next Level Baker

Equipment

  • 1 Stand or hand mixer optional

Ingredients
  

  • 1 box of spice cake mix
  • ¼ cup molasses
  • cup neutral vegetable oil
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tablespoon ground ginger
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • ¼ cup white sugar optional for coating
  • ½ cup powdered sugar for coating

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 375 ℉. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a baking mat. Don't use cooking spray.
  • Add the boxed spice cake mix, molasses, vegetable oil, eggs, ground ginger and vanilla to a mixing bowl. Mix on medium low speed until well combined, about 90 seconds.
  • Optional: If using white sugar, add it to a shallow bowl or small plate for rolling. Use a medium cookie scoop (about 2 tablespoons) to drop the dough balls into the white sugar. Roll around for a light coating.
  • Add the powdered sugar to a separate shallow bowl or small plate for rolling. Roll the dough ball in powdered sugar until fully covered.
  • Place the cookies on the prepared baking sheet about 2 inches apart. Bake for 7 to 9 minutes, until the bottoms are lightly browned.
  • Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for at least 5 minutes before moving them to a wire rack to finish cooling.
  • Makes 32-36 cookies.
