Easy Chocolate Crinkle Cookies
This shortcut recipe takes a chocolate cake mix and turns it into a chewy and fudgy chocolate crinkle cookie. It’s so easy to make, a 3-year-old can do it!
Okay, I might have exaggerated a little there, a 3-year-old can help. However, it really is that easy. If you have a chocolate cake mix on hand, you can make these delicious cookies right now. The only other ingredients you need are eggs, vegetable oil, and powdered sugar (and maybe some tiny hands eager to assist).
Now, that’s my little sweet baker, Charlie. He’s always eager to help mommy bake. The minute I get my baking bowls out, he’s like “Mommy, I want to help!” Though sometimes, I think it takes me longer to get things done with his assistance, but that’s okay. It’s all part of the fun and memories.
These chocolate crinkle cookies tastes like a brownie wrapped up in a cookie and coated in powdered sugar. What more could you ask for?

That little Charlie is just full of personality and just as cute as can be. Just like these delicious cookies! I love everything about them. Hope you have a great holiday Lily!
Your little helper is so adorable, though I absolutely know what you mean on it taking so much longer with ‘help’! These look great, thanks for sharing at Fiesta Friday.
The texture on these cookies look great. If your 3 yr old can do it, I will definitely try it!
