I made my first Crinkle Cookies last week and now I am hooked! These fast and easy cookies use boxed cake mix so you can make any flavor you want!

You roll them in a powdered sugar mix and when they bake they flatten and “crinkle” into these pretty, tasty cookies! The first kind I tried was red velvet and I used a recipe from Duncan Hines. They were pretty but tasted just ok. Somewhat dry and bland. So I tried a few different recipes and added a few different ingredients until I finally hit the jackpot and came up with the perfect recipe! The secret ingredient: pudding mix to make them extra moist and soft! Even better, I used Pink Velvet cake mix and pink and yellow colored chocolate chips for fun, colorful Springtime Crinkle Cookies!
