What is a crinkle cookie?
Perhaps you have never heard of a crinkle cookie before. Chances are you have seen or eaten one, and may just not know what they are called. Crinkle cookies are soft, cake-like cookies that have been rolled in powdered sugar before cooking them. When the cookies are baked the powdered sugar cracks, giving them their crinkled appearance.
What do I need to make a crinkle cookie recipe with cake mix?
The first thing you will need to make this red velvet crinkle cookie recipe is a box of red velvet cake mix. You will also need powdered sugar, oil, eggs, and a Mickey Mouse-shaped cookie cutter.
Mickey Red Velvet Crinkle Cookies
Making your red velvet crinkle cookies is easy! Preheat your oven to 350 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper, and put the powdered sugar in a small bowl.
Put your cake mix, oil, and eggs in a bowl and use an electric mixer to combine. The dough will be sticky, and some people prefer to refrigerate it for an hour to make rolling the dough balls easier, but you don’t have to if you are pressed for time.
Use a one-tablespoon cookie scoop to roll the cookies into balls. Take the dough balls and cover them completely in powdered sugar. Place the balls on your cookie sheet and press down on them with a glass.
Bake your cookies for nine to eleven minutes or until the edges start to turn brown. Set the cookies aside to cool for two minutes, and then use your Mickey cookie cutter to cut out your cookies.
