2Eggslarge
⅓cupButtermelted and slightly cooled
For Topping:

Instructions
Preheat oven to 350° F. Prepare cookie sheet with parchment paper or non stick spray.*
In a small bowl, combine sugar and 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine cake mix and 2 teaspoons of cinnamon.
Add melted butter and eggs to the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
Roll dough into 1-inch balls. This is easier to do with a cookie scoop.
Roll balls in the cinnamon mixture, one ball at a time. I drop it into the mixture from the cookie scoop then roll it around.
Place cookie dough balls about 2” apart on the prepared pan.
Flatten each ball of dough with the bottom of a glass or the palm of your hand.
Bake for 10-12 minutes.
Let cool on the baking sheet for several minutes then transfer to a wire cooling rack to cool completely.
Enjoy!

Notes
* This recipe yields about 20 cookies, so they will not all fit on one baking sheet. If reusing the same baking sheet for the next batch of dough, please allow it to cool to room temperature before placing the balls of dough on it. If the baking sheet is too warm, the cookies will spread.
