Storage, Leftovers and Freezing
Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature. They should be good for about 5 days.
You can freeze cake mix snickerdoodles. Let them thaw to room temperature and then put in a freezer bag or freezer safe container. I like to separate them with parchment paper so they don’t freeze together. They will be good in your freezer for about 4 months. Thaw out at room temperature.
Notes, Tips and Variations For Cake Mix Snickerdoodles
- Use a Gluten Free cake mix to make these Gluten Free!
- Try to roll balls of the dough to the same size (about 1-inch balls) so that they bake evenly.
- If you’d like you can chill them in the refrigerator for about 10 minutes before baking.
- Mix things up a bit by using French Vanilla or White Cake Mix or Yellow Cake Mix!
- Letting them cool on the wire rack after cooking is important! Get them off that baking sheet or they may overcook!
