Steps:
- 1. Heat oven to 350°F (325°F for dark or nonstick cookie sheets). Mix cake mix, butter and egg in large bowl with spoon until dough forms (some dry mix will remain). TIP: be sure to add butter a little at a time so dough doesn't get too sticky to handle.
- 2. Shape dough into 1-inch balls. Mix sugar and cinnamon in small bowl. Roll balls in cinnamon-sugar mixture. Place about 2 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheet. TIP: for Super Snickerdoodles, shape dough into 1 1/2-inch balls and place them 3 inches apart on the cookie sheet; bake 12 to 14 minutes. You'll get about 26 large cookies (regular size yields about 30, even smaller you get about 36).
- 3. Bake 10 to 12 minutes or until set. Remove from cookie sheet to cooling racks. TIP: also, French vanilla cake mix is a great stand-in for the white cake mix.

- 6. ...a bit of history on Snickerdoodle Cookies. WIKI..The Joy of Cooking claims that snickerdoodles are probably German in origin, and that the name is a corruption of the German word Schneckennudeln (lit. "snail noodles")[3], a kind of pastry. A different author suggests that the word "snicker" comes from the Dutch word snekrad, or the German word Schnecke, which both describe a snail shape.[4] Yet another hypothesis suggests that the name has no particular meaning or purpose [5] and is simply a whimsically named cookie that originated from a New England tradition of fanciful cookie names
