Time 1h5m

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 box moist deluxe yellow cake mix
4 c all purpose flour
1 c sugar
6 tsp baking powder
6 eggs beaten
1 c milk
1 c vegetable oil
1 tsp pure vanilla extract (base flavoring)
1-2 tsp vanilla, almond, lemon or anise extracts, or mix extract flavors
powdered sugar for rolling and dusting

Steps:

Completely coat dough in powdered sugar and place on parchment lined cookie sheet, each cookie should be 2 inches apart. Bake at 350'F anywhere between 6-10 minutes until bottom of cookies are golden. Cookies will have a crackle effect on top. Remove and cool cookies still on parchment paper onto wired cookie racks. When cooled, dust with powdered sugar. Store cookies in an airtight container so cookies don't lose their moistness.
