Eating My Way Through the Holidays. Festive Food Gifts: Xmas Crinkle Cookies! Shortcuts are the key to success for that next cookie-exchange the kids forgot to tell you about. “Oh yeah, Mom, sorry.” No worries. Head to the kitchen to clang some pans around, preheat the oven, and dust a little powdered sugar on your nose. They’ll be none the wiser. By the time the house begins to smell like a neighborhood bakery, you’ll have rows of cookies lined up ready to be boxed. And if you’re one of those organized parents, just so you know, these cookies freeze well. Arrange them in a freezer gallon bag, layered between squares of waxed paper. I have literally taken these crinkle cookies out of the freezer and handed them to a little girl to eat. Other than being slightly chilled, they retain a chewiness that makes them simply delicious. You deserve a pat on the back. You’re welcome.
XMAS CRINKLE COOKIES
Ingredients:
1/2 cup powdered sugar, for dusting
15.25-ounce box strawberry cake mix
1/2 cup vegetable oil
2 eggs, room temperature
Instructions:
Preheat oven to 350°. Place powdered sugar in a shallow dish. Set aside. In a mixing bowl, combine strawberry cake mix, vegetable oil, and eggs. Stir until a dough forms. Chill dough for 20 minutes. Shape dough into 1” balls. Roll in powdered sugar and place 2” apart on ungreased baking sheet. Bake 7-9 minutes, or until center is just set. Remove pan from oven; cool for 2 minutes. Transfer cookies to a wire rack. Dust with more powdered sugar.
Thank you, Gail.

Another cake mix recipe – amazing what you can do with it! Crinkle cookies are on my “cookie list” to make but they may have to wait until Valentine’s Day 🙂

You’re right. I have the luxury of getting strawberries at the Farmer’s Market, mostly because the summer months are too hot for the plants to survive. 🔥🍃🍓
