Fudgy Crinkle Cookies {Only Five Ingredients}

Fudgy-Crinkle-Cookies-Five-Ingredients

 
When you’re in a rush, a few cake mixes in the pantry can be a lifesaver. These Fudgy Crinkle Cookies are a delicious and super fast way to turn a cake mix into an awesome treat in a matter of minutes.

The mini-chocolate chips add a fudgy-ness that is irresistible! You can tell in the picture above that the mini-chocolate chips become unrecognizable in the baked cookies. the chips are so small they just melt into the batter and give it an extra awesome chocolaty flavor and fudgy texture.

I’ve already made these Crinkle Cookies twice this week. They only take about 2 minutes to mix up and another 25 to prep and bake. Go ahead reach into your pantry and pull out a chocolate cake mix, you know you want to.

I used a regular chocolate cake mix the first time I made these and a devil’s food the second. I liked the flavor of the plain chocolate one a little better, but the devil’s food had a deeper brown color, making the cookies look more like traditional crinkle cookies.

These cookies work well with a regular chocolate cake mix or a devil's food cake mix. You can choose to roll the dough balls in powdered sugar before baking or shake the cooked and cooled cookies in powdered sugar. They turn out great either way.
