Ingredients

0.5 cup vegetable oil
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
0.25 cup granulated sugar
Instructions
1. In a small bowl, mix together the ground cinnamon and granulated sugar. Set aside.
2. In a large mixing bowl, stir together the yellow cake mix, eggs, and vegetable oil until a soft dough forms.
3. Scoop about 1 tablespoon of dough and roll it into a ball.
4. Roll each dough ball in the cinnamon-sugar mixture until fully coated.
5. Place dough balls onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, about 2 inches apart.
6. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 9 to 11 minutes, until the edges are set but the centers still look soft.
7. Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
8. Serve warm or at room temperature.
Notes
These cookies freeze beautifully — freeze dough balls before baking.
Avoid overbaking to keep the centers chewy and soft.
Use a cookie scoop for evenly sized cookies every time.
