Easy Crinkle Cookies Using Boxed Cake Mix

In a bowl, combine the butter and the egg.

Gradually add 3/4 cup of the boxed cake mix, mixing well until a slightly firm but still pliable dough forms.

Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper (although Grandma Sônia doesn't use it, it is recommended to prevent sticking).

Scoop portions of the dough with a spoon and roll them into small balls.

Roll each dough ball first in the granulated sugar, coating it evenly.

Next, coat the balls that were dipped in granulated sugar with powdered sugar.

Place the balls on the baking sheet, gently pressing them down slightly to flatten them a bit, and finish by adding a small extra amount of powdered sugar on top of each cookie.

Bake in the preheated oven for 10 to 15 minutes, or until the surface of the cookies is firm to the touch.

Allow the cookies to cool completely before removing them from the sheet and serving, as they only achieve the proper texture after fully cooling.
