I made these crinkle cookies at Landon's request. He had heard that you could make them using cake mix, and he even picked up a couple boxes when he went marketing.
Lan wanted a buttery version so he bought a Butter Cake Mix. I found a recipe that used butter instead of oil for even more buttery goodness.
Mix 6 tablespoons of melted butter and 2 eggs with a box of cake mix. Several recipes say to refrigerate the dough for 1 hour, but it should be longer because even after 1 hour the dough was still sticky and hard to roll into balls.
Form 1-inch balls and roll in powdered sugar. Place on cookie sheet about 2 inches apart. Bake at 350 degrees for around 10 minutes.
My cookies came out bigger and flatter than supposed to, but they were still good . . . light and chewy with a bit of an outer crust.
