ingredients:

- 2 eggs
- 1/3 cup oil
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- Optional: 1-2 tbsp milk to get the right consistency
instructions:
- preheat oven to 350°F and line baking sheets with parchment.
- mix the cake mix, eggs, oil, and vanilla in a bowl until a soft dough forms.
- roll dough into walnut-sized balls, then roll each one generously in powdered sugar—don't be shy here.
- place on baking sheets about 2 inches apart and bake for 12-14 minutes until the tops are cracked and set.
- let cool on the pan for 5 minutes before transferring—they'll be soft but will firm up as they cool.
