Beat together the yellow cake mix, oil, and eggs until combined in a mixing bowl

Cover and chill the cookie dough for 1 hour. This will allow the batter to roll better, as well as keep the cookies puffy instead of spreading and falling flat.

In a small bowl, mix together the sugar and cinnamon

Roll the dough into balls, then drop one by one into the cinnamon sugar mixture, rolling it around to cover all sides. Place the balls of dough on a nonstick baking sheet

Bake the snickerdoodles at 350 degrees for 10-11 minutes, until the tops crack and the edges look firm. Do not over bake

Remove the cookies from the baking sheet and transfer to a wire cooling rack
