How to make cake mix spice cookies
Step 1: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Mix together the spice cake mix, eggs, and olive oil until combined.
The batter should be thick, and a little sticky.
Step 2: Roll the cookie batter into balls and roll each ball in the granulated sugar, then place on a baking sheet.
Step 3: Bake the spice cookies at 350 degrees for 10-12 minutes, or until lightly browned on the bottom.
Step 4: Allow the cookies to sit on the cookie sheet for 1-2 minutes before removing onto a wire cooling rack to cool completely.
These cookies have the best soft melt in your mouth spice taste and the sugar adds a little crunchy texture on top.
So delicious you won’t be able to stop at just one!
