Fudge Crinkles (A Great 4 Ingredient Cake Mix Cookie)
RECIPE BY: Karen=^..^=
These are chewy, fudgy, SUPER EASY cookies that you can probably make right now! I have watched these disappear time and again and everyone is always asking for the recipe. It is almost embarrassing to give it out, it is that easy 
Enjoy! (12/14/06: I wanted to add that Betty Crocker has updated this recipe by adding 1 tsp. vanilla extract, but I don't want to change the original recipe.) *12/22/07: Please see my tips at the end of the recipe!

Ingredients
Directions
1
Preheat oven to 350°.2
Stir (by hand) dry cake mix, oil and eggs in a large bowl until dough forms.3
Dust hands with confectioners' sugar and shape dough into 1" balls.4
Roll balls in confectioners' sugar and place 2 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheets.5
Bake for 8-10 minutes or until center is JUST SET.6
Remove from pans after a minute or so and cool on wire racks.7
*My Notes*:.8
I have tried these with several different cake mix brands. They all come out good, but the Betty Crocker does come out the best.9
I was having a problem with my cookies flattening while baking. This usually happens with the generic cake mix brands. You can play with your oven temp and try them on 375 to keep them from spreading. Adding more oil than called for will also cause the cookies to spread -- I wouldn't suggest it, they really don't need extra oil.10
Another way to keep them nice and thick and to get the most "crinkled" or "crackled" look is to make them bigger. When I roll them at about 1.5 inches they look prettier.11
And my best tip: My confectioners' sugar was consistently being absorbed by the dough. The last time I baked them, I rolled them into balls without rolling in the sugar and let them "dry" for a few minutes. Then I rolled them in sugar and baked. These came out with a nice coating of sugar that didn't disappear.

I was disappointed by this recipe. The cookies tasted like oil. I did like how easy they were to make, and may try again using butter instead.

5 Star review number 324... heh, not a lot to add here... I used Betty Crocker's Super Moist Chocolate cake mix & followed -JL-'s tip and used a little more oil (3/4C), but will experiment w/ less next time. I also used my madeleine trays and those were especially beautiful! The girls at work devoured them!

I had to re-review this simply because I tried the same recipe using STRAWBERRY cake mix and wanted to tell y'all about it. I increased the oil to 3/4 cup because even though I LOVED the chocolate ones, I ended up overcoooking them by just a couple minutes and when they cooled, they were very hard. So I wanted to ensure that even if I overcook them again by accident, that I'll still end up with a soft, chewy cookie. This worked wonderfully with 3/4 cup oil!~!! Sent a batch of the strawberry ones to hubby's work and everyone asked how in the world strawberry cookies can be made? They'd never heard of them and LOVED 'em!! Karen, this will be my ALL TIME FAVORITE cookie recipe for the rest of my life!~ 10 stars at least! Karen, you're awesome!

When I made these the chocolate ones were disappearing so fast I decided to make more right then and there. I had a french vanilla cake mix so I made them with it, and rolled them in coconut and a little sugar. EXCELLENT! Both variations didn't last long (our friends were over watching football with my husband, they would clean a plate full and ask when the next would be ready! lol) VERY easy too! ~Lana~
