Tips and Conclusion

Tips for Perfect Crinkle Cookies
Choose Your Flavor: The beauty of this recipe lies in its versatility. Use chocolate cake mix for a rich treat, lemon for a zesty option, or funfetti for a colorful twist.
Avoid Overbaking: To keep the cookies soft and chewy, remove them from the oven as soon as the edges set. They’ll continue to bake slightly on the hot baking sheet.
Make Ahead: You can prepare the dough in advance and refrigerate it for up to 24 hours. Just let it sit at room temperature for 10–15 minutes before rolling and baking.
