I am all about the ease of things and I totally go for the recipes with the fewest ingredients. Here is a great recipe for vanilla cake mix snickerdoodles cookie recipe. They are rolled in sugar and cinnamon for extra sparkle! Look how they crackle when they’re cooked!
We’ve made a basic chocolate cake mix cookies recipe before, so these cookies are just a fun spin on the original and you might find yourself eating a few too many…but they’re worth it right? Read on below for the super simple recipe and instructions.
Cake Mix Snickerdoodles
Ingredients:
- 1 box cake mix – yellow or white is best
- 1/2 c. oil – vegetable or canola oil
- 2 eggs
- 4 T sugar
- 1 T cinnamon
Instructions:
Mix together the cake mix, oil, and eggs until combined.
PS: I LOVE my GIR silicone spatula. It’s strong and smooth, perfect for mixing up a batch of cookies!
On a separate plate, combine your sugar and cinnamon for dipping your dough.
Scoop your dough with a spoon or a cookie dough scoop (I LOVE my scooper!) Roll them into the sugar and cinnamon mixture and coat all sides of your ball.
Place on a greased baking sheet or on top of a silicone baking mat.
Bake cake mix snickerdoodles at 375° for 10-11 minutes.
These cake mix snickerdoodles are quick cookies that are a huge hit. They also make a great treat for the neighbors. What quick cookies do you make?

Where do you get mexican vanilla? I have not seen it. Thanks
Could you just add mashed ripe bananas to batter for Banana snickerdoddles? Thanks
What a great question! I’m not sure. But I’ll try it next time I make these! Let me know if you test that out too :)
It is a yellow cake mix. I just want to say that i love using this recipe. But there is one thing that makes these cookies to die for… Using Mexican vanilla. Don’t ask me why… they just make the cookies amazing.
Is that a yellow cake mix or white?
We these same recipe in class one day and they were hella good
These are particularly delicious made with french vanilla cake mix.
My recipe is almost identical only its one stick of butter or margarine instead of the oil. I like that because then you are only getting one bowl dirty and don’t have any measuring cups to wash!
Thanks Kristen – That is a great tip. It worked. I will do it now for all my typed recipes!
Hi! I got your link from a friend and so far I am impressed! You seem very chic and cool with your kids. I like mommies that are well, mommies!
This recipe looks great, I am a fan already and I haven’t even tasted them.
I wanted to share this little tip for making the degree sign when entering temperatures.
Hold down the “Alt” button while typing 2-4-8. That little circle or “degree” sign will show up. Cool eh?
Say good bye to the little star!
Thanks for sharing your cool tips and fun ideas, no doubt I WILL BE BACK!!!
i heart snickerdoodles. rolling the little balls in cinnamon sugar brings out the kid in me. thanks for the classic recipe and reminder to make these more often!
I just looked at this picture and thought, “Want some cookies?” What movie is that from? Here is a hint: He is dressed up as a girl scout!!
I love this quick and easy for cookies anytime.
