- 1 box of spice cake mix
- ¼ cup molasses
- ⅓ 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
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.
