💡 Baker's Tips & Variations
For Thicker Cookies
The oil makes the dough a bit soft. For a thicker, less-spread cookie, substitute the $\frac{1}{3}$ cup of vegetable oil with $\frac{1}{2}$ cup of melted butter. You can also stir in 2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour with the dry ingredients.
The "Crinkle" Effect
For a beautiful powdered sugar crinkle cookie, like a classic snow-dusted Christmas cookie:
-
Skip the mix-ins like M&M's.
-
Roll the dough balls first in granulated sugar, then heavily coat them in powdered sugar before placing them on the baking sheet.
-
Bake as directed.
Peppermint Bark Cookies
Use a Chocolate or Devil's Food cake mix. Mix in $\frac{1}{2}$ cup of white chocolate chips and 1 teaspoon of peppermint extract. After baking, drizzle with melted white chocolate and sprinkle with extra crushed candy canes.
Gingerbread Spice Cookies
Use a Yellow or Spice cake mix. Add 1 teaspoon of ground ginger, $\frac{1}{2}$ teaspoon of cinnamon, and roll the finished dough balls in a mixture of granulated sugar and cinnamon before baking.
