Ingredients

  • 1 box devil's food cake mix 15.25oz
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 2 large eggs
  • confectioners' sugar for dusting

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
  • In a large bowl, stir the cake mix, oil and eggs by hand until a dough forms. This is a temperamental dough so you do not want to use a mixer.
  • Coat your hands in confectioners sugar and then shape the dough into 1 inch balls. You may have to dust your hands a few times. The dough is really wet, so keep lots of confectioners sugar on stand-by.
  • After the dough balls are formed, roll them in even more confectioners' sugar. This gives them that sweet snowflake look that you see in the main picture.
  • Then place the sugar coated cookie balls on a parchment lined cookie sheet. Roughly 2-3 inches apart.
  • Bake at 350 degrees for 8 - 10 minutes or until the center of the cookie just starts to set.
  • Perfectly Cooked
  • Let the cookies cool on the pan for 1-2 minutes and then move the cookies to a wire rack to finish cooling.
