Cake Mix Cookies I

“A friend gave me this recipe several months ago. I have tried several variations including using a carrot cake mix with white chocolate chips and chocolate cake mix with butterscotch chips - the variety is endless! Note: I haven't had a great deal of success in storing these cookies more than one or two days. They seem to toughen up rather quickly.”

I think these came out fantastic for being so quick and easy. I used a butter cake mix and only about 1 and a Half cups of chips. Everything else was the same.

2C of add-ins seems way too chunky so I used 3/4C. oats & 1C. M&Ms. Chewy and good, so simple to make! And a great way to use up an old box of cake mix :-)

They were very tasty. I used French Vanilla and butterscotch chips. They looked like little biscuits, but that happens with my cookies some times. Not sure why. I especially like that they didn't taste like cake mix.

The secret to keeping these cookies moist is using 1/3 cup mayo in place of the oil. I also soak 1 c of raisins in TWO TABLESPOONS of Vanilla! Mine seemed a little batter-like so I added oatmeal until it more cookie dough-ish! OH, this was with a Pudding in the Carrot Cake Mix and no chocolate chips. People will FIGHT over them, GUARANTEED!!

I loved these cookies. I was out of vanilla so these were the perfect solution. I used a white cake mix with chocolate and mint chips! SO GOOD!

I had to try these as i love soft cookies. I used a cake mix with pudding in the mix and they turned out excellent. I left out the chips and used whipped frosting between two cookies to make little sandwiches. My kids loved them!

I Love making these cookies. They are so easy! The only thing I do differently is use unsweetened applesauce in place of the oil. Tastes no different and cancels out alot of the fat

I think if you use butter instead of veggie oil that the cookies seem to stay fresher longer. I have never used veggie oil...always butter and have never had a problem with them getting tough. Endless possibilities with this recipe. We made cotton candy cookies with cotton candy icing when they came out with those little packets of flavor to add to icing...we just used it in the cake mix and icing...they were yummy!

YUMMY! The kids (10 and 11) made these last night with very little help. We used a butter yellow cake mix (pudding inside), 1/3 c veg oil, 2 eggs, a splash of water, and an entire bag of mini m&ms. They baked perfectly at 350 for 10 minutes. I woke up this morning to mouse bites out of the ones I left packaged for their lunch... they must like them.
