What are Spiced Crinkle Cookies?
Spiced Crinkle Cookies are a soft, cake-like cookie that basically melts in your mouth. Spice cake is one of my favorite cakes because it has all the flavors of fall that I love!
By rolling the cookie dough in sugar, it gives it a crinkle top that makes this cookie perfect for the holidays! Something about a crinkle cookie just screams the holidays to me!
Because I couldn't tell which sugar coating I liked better, I included both in the recipe! Afterall, both is always better, in my opinion!
Cake-Mix Marvels
At any given time, I'm going to have a cake mix in my pantry! Not only is it a great ingredient to have on hand if you need to whip up a cake real quick, but the options for what a cake mix can do are literally endless!
I've turned cake mix into pancakes, cookies, whoopie pies even!
The reason that cake mix can be turned into so many different ingredients is because cake mix is just a combination of flour, sugar, and a leavening agent. It's basically a combination of all the dry ingredients you need for baked goods! By changing out the liquid ratio, you can create whatever dessert you like!
