Ingredients

  • 14.50 ounces Gingerbread Cake Mix
  • 2 eggs – large
  • 4 tbsp butter – melted
  • ½ cup confectioner’s sugar
  • ½ tsp cornstarch

Instructions

  • Line several baking sheets with parchment and set aside.
  • Combine the cake mix, eggs, and melted butter in a large bowl. Mix together using a firm rubber spatula until all of the dough is smooth and thick.
  • Chill the dough for at least 30-60 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
  • In a small bowl, combine the confectioner’s sugar and cornstarch. Stir together with a fork.
  • Scoop the dough using a medium cookie scoop. I like to scoop and release it directly into the bowl with the sugar mixture and then use the fork to roll it around to coat it in sugar so I don’t get the sticky dough all over my hands.
  • Once the dough ball is coated, place it on the prepared baking sheet. Continue until all of the dough is portioned out.
  • Bake each baking sheet in its own batch for 11-13 minutes.
  • Remove and let cool on the baking sheet for several minutes before transferring to a wire rack to finish cooling.
  • Store in an airtight container for up to 5 days.

Notes

Note - if the dough is still too shaggy to hold shape while rolling, you can mix in 1-2 tbsp of all-purpose flour before the rolling process.
