Cinnamon Crinkle Cookies


Dave and I have made these cookies many times before, since they are so easy!  The recipe is kind of a cheat, since it uses boxed cake mix.  Reminds me of something that crazy Sandra Lee would make (before getting wasted at "cocktail time," of course)

Ingredients:
3/4c butter or margarine, softened
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 pkg Duncan Hines Moist Deluxe French Vanilla cake mix

2 egg yolks (whites will be used in topping)

topping:
2 tbsp sugar
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
2 egg whites
1 tsp water

Directions:
1.  Preheat oven to 375
2.  Combine butter, egg yolks, and vanilla extract in a large bowl.  Blend in cake mix gradually, and stir until blended
3.  To make topping, combine sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl.
4.  Combine egg whites and water in another small bowl; beat lightly with a fork
5.  Roll 1 level measuring teaspoon of dough into a ball.  Dip half of the ball into egg white mixture, then into cinnamon-sugar mixture.
6.  Place ball sugar-side-up on ungreased baking sheet.  Repeat with remaining balls, placing them 2 inches apart.
7.  Bake for 9 to 10 minutes or until puffed and edges are light golden brown.  Cool for 2 minutes on baking sheets, and remove to cooling racks.
