Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

In a small bowl, combine ¼ cup of granulated sugar with 1 tablespoon of ground cinnamon.

In a large mixing bowl, add the yellow cake mix, 2 large eggs, and ⅓ cup of vegetable oil. Stir until a thick, sticky dough forms.

Using a tablespoon, scoop out amounts of dough and roll them into smooth balls with your hands, about 1 inch in diameter.

Roll each dough ball in your prepared cinnamon-sugar mixture until fully coated.

Place the dough balls onto your lined baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

Bake for 9–11 minutes until the edges turn lightly golden and the centers appear slightly soft.

Allow your cookies to sit on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
