Soft and chewy oatmeal cookies made with a box of cake mix and made purple, green and orange with food coloring, making these cookies perfect for Halloween. The cookies are also rolled in a mixture of granulated sugar and ground cinnamon, giving them a delicious snickerdoodle flavor.
The cookie dough is made by mixing a box of cake mix with oats, eggs, and vegetable oil until smooth. Divide the cookie dough into three bowls, and mix one with purple food coloring, one with orange, and one with green. Take a small amount of each cookie dough and roll together into balls. Roll each one into a dish of granulated sugar and ground cinnamon. Place the cookies onto a large ungreased baking sheet at least 2-inches apart. Bake until the cookies are fully cooked through.
