Simple Snickerdoodles -Jenna

These are fool-proof snickerdoodle cookies that I use all the time.  These are the best middle of the night cookies when you're tired of grading papers and need a break!  (Little rule of thumb: never bake anything that's a challenge or new really late at night, it never turns out well.)  The ingredients are as follows:
1 box of yellow cake mix
1/2 cup vegetable oil
2 eggs
2 Tbsp sugar and 1/2 teas. cinnamon
 (for rolling cookies in)


All you do is combine the cake mix, vegi oil, and eggs into a bowl. 
Mix with a rubber spatula until combined.
It will be a pretty pliable dough; not too wet or dry. 

Next, roll dough into balls about an inch in diameter. 

Combine the sugar and cinnamon into a bowl, then roll the balls
 in the sugar/cinnamon mixture. 




Place onto a cookie sheet and bake for 8-10 minutes at 350 degrees.  (The magic number for me is 10 minutes, but every oven is a bit different).  It makes about 3 dozen cookies.  They are chewy, and fluffy, and perfect little cookies!
