Easter Festivities
Easter is coming up, and even though you can’t surround yourself with people, you can surround yourself with cookies! These Carrot Cake Crinkle Cookies are a festive little treat that you can easily make to celebrate! Even if you don’t celebrate Easter, just celebrate the fact that you’ve been in quarantine for however many days and haven’t gone completely insane!
Right from the Box
These Carrot Cake Crinkle Cookies are the moistest, softest, and chewiest cookies you will ever eat! And they’re so simple to make! All you need is a box of carrot cake cake mix, vegetable oil, eggs, and powdered sugar!
Different brands of boxed cake mix come in different sizes, so please make sure that your cake mix is 15.25oz! I specifically used my girl Betty Crocker for this recipe.
This is a 4-step process: mix, refrigerate, roll, and bake! First, we’re going to mix the cake mix, vegetable oil, and eggs in a bowl until they are well incorporated. The dough will be on the stickier side, so we’ll stick it in the fridge to stiffen up a little for about 30 minutes. Now, we roll! We’re going to roll the dough into 1 tbsp sized balls and then roll them in the powdered sugar until they are heavily coated. Then we bake em’ off in the oven until they are perfectly crackled.
Aaannnd Wha-BAM! You have your Carrot Cake Crinkle Cookies!
Short and Sweet
I know this post was super short, but let’s be honest, there’s not really a lot going on in our lives right now — at least that’s the way it is for me. But I also think it’s good to mix it up. Not everyone wants to read an essay every time they come to my blog. With that said, try this quick and easy recipe, and let me know what you think! I’m wishing all of you the very best, and I’ll catch you in my next post!
Carrot Cake Crinkle Cookies
Ingredients
- 1 (15.25 oz) Box Carrot Cake Cake Mix
- 1/2 cup Vegetable Oil
- 2 Large Eggs
- 1/2 cup Powdered Sugar
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350˚F
- Mix all of the ingredients, except for the powdered sugar, together until they come together to form a dough. Refrigerate for 30 minutes.
- Shape the dough into 1 tbsp sized balls and roll them in powdered sugar until they are completely covered. Transfer the sugar coated balls onto a sheet tray lined with parchment paper, placing them about 1 1/2 inches apart. Bake them for about 12-15 minutes.
- After the cookies have finished baking, remove them from the oven and allow them to cool on the sheet trays for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy!
OMG these are a keeper for sure. I followed the directions here and added raisins, walnuts, and a few dried cherries I had left over. I used carrot cake mix. My son is a Cookie Monster and I know he will love them. My son is going n 60 😉. Never too old to enjoy a great cookie. 😋
Those mix ins go perfectly with the carrot cake flavor! So glad you and your son enjoyed them!
I just made chocolate crinkle cookies for the first time and was looking for other flavors. Can’t wait to try this recipe. This looks great.
Yes please do and let me know how they turn out!
