- 2 Tablespoons sour cream
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
Cinnamon Sugar Mixture

Snickerdoodle Cookies
Combine cake mix, flour and cinnamon in a large bowl and whisk to combine. Add eggs, melted butter and sour cream and mix using a hand held {or stand} mixer until you have a thick dough.
To make the cinnamon sugar mixture combine the granulated sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl and mix until combined.
Using a 1/4 cup, measure out 11-12 cookies. Roll the cookies in the cinnamon sugar mixture and use your hands to press the cookie dough into a round disc. Bake 6 cookies at a time. Place the cookie on a silicone mat {or parchment} lined baking sheet for 10-12 minutes or until set.
Remove cookies from the oven and allow them to cool completely on the baking sheet.
- Whisk the dry ingredients together before adding the wet ingredients. This will help ensure that the cookie dough mixes up nicely.
- Use a 1/4 cup to measure out the cookie dough for baking. These are big cookies and using a measuring cup keeps the cookies the same size which allows them to be baked evenly.
- Shape the cookies into a round disc before baking. This step will make sure the cookies keep a uniform shape.
- Don't over bake the cookies. It is so important to be sure that you have a soft end result.
- Add more cinnamon sugar mixture to the top of the frosting to get even more flavor. That element is what brings out all of the churro vibes.
