This is the best "cake mix" cookie recipe I've ever tried. I used a carrot cake mix and added apple pie spice for spice cookies - yum!

This are great. Perfect when you need a large batch for a party, bake sell, etc. and don't have a lot of spare time. It's also fun to experiment with different additives.

awesome because theyre super easy-but i found them to be really salty. i used a devil's food cake mix and reese's peanut butter chips. i dunno what it was but it seemed like the chips didn't wanna "stick" in the batter so when i put them down i really had to smush them to form a cookie. they turned out fine though-everyone loved them, i just thought they were SUPER salty and just kind of... "eh". but it could've been the PB chips

These are SO easy and delicious! After theu were done, I iced them and added festive sprinkles...They were cute and tasty! I mixed them according to the posted recipe, but added some vanilla. I baked them on a stone for about 10 minutes. Although, next time I think I will take them out just a mi ute or two sooner. They were a little too browned on the edges... Thanks for sharing!

Perfect and Easy! I used Betty Crocker Supermoist Lemon Cake, the eggs and oil, rolled into balls, rolled in sugar, flattened a bit with a spoon, cooked 7 minutes, and they are perfect. A little brown and crisp , on the edges, chewy in the middle. Just like we like them. The only word of caution for lazy cooks like me: make sure you get any bigger clumps out of the dry mix before you mix in the wet ingredients or the batter will not mix up well.

*DROOL* Some of the best cookies ever. I made them with devil's food cake mix that I had laying around, and WOW. They came out pretty cake-y at first, which wasn't that amazing, but when they cooled they collapsed into dense fudge-y deliciousness. Before baking I pressed one chocolate chip in the center of the balls. That just made the cookie. I even put a mini marshmallow on some of them. YUM. I'm going to start keeping cake mix on hand just in case I want some quick cookies!!

I really did not care for these. I found them to have a strange flavor. I made them because I had a cake mix I wanted to use up, but I wish I would have made cupcakes instead.

YES!! these are so easy! I made yellow cake, added 3/4 c flour and rolled balls in cinnamon/sugar mix. Just sweet enough and w/speed bake...all done in 25 minutes. My Girl Scout troop loved them.

Woo-hoo!! This is the easiest thing I've EVER made!! I might not ever make cookies any other way again. I used a French Vanilla cake mix and about 3/4 c. choc chips, thus omitting the need to add any extra vanilla. They cooked for about 9 min and came out perfect--not too sweet (which I like for the kids). I can't wait to try different variations. Thank you, thank you!

I made these using a yellow cake mix and in half of them I added chocolate chips. These were so gross. They were almost sickingly sweet. It had a weird artificial taste. I will say, however, that if you usea devils food mix, they are great. I've made them with mint chips and regular chocolate chips. Those turn out great. But the yellow ones we threw out.

I love this recipe! I have made it using lemon cake mix with 1 1/2 cups of white chocolate chips, which my grandpa said were the best cookies he has ever had! I also recently used cherry chip cake mix with white chocolate chips...these were my fav! I cannot wait to try more varations of this cookie!

Can't get much easier than that! I used half a package of cake mix and that made 17 generously sized cookies that took 8 minutes to bake and a few minutes to cool on the cookie sheet.

I always frost these--cream cheese frosting is a good choice. I also usually make these with the confetti cake mix, and they turn out great. I've tried using chocolate cake mixes, but they don't taste as good to me as the vanilla/white cake mix, plus it's harder to tell when the cookies are done! I always keep a few cake mixes and tubs of frosting on hand for those emergencies when I have to take refreshments on short notice.

Wow, I never review recipes, but I had to come back and give this one 5 stars. I literally made them and baked them all in under a half hour. I mixed and rolled while my dinner cooked, and then used my already heated oven to bake them. I have 3 different brands of sheet pans, and I get different results each time, except this one, they were a perfect golden brown on the bottom. I pulled them out when the top started to wrinkle and moved them to a rack 3 mins. later. We used a funfetti mix, and my toddler loves them so much she snuck into the kitchen and stole half a dozen off the rack and hid them so she'd have them later, lol. I did think they were too greasy before they cooked, there were oil puddles forming under the cookie, but they are great and easy!

Ive made these before using lemon cake, it is good! This time I used a chocolate German cake mix. Along with the egg and oil I added about a 1 1/2 TBSP of dark rum. I also had some left over chopped pecan, sugar and cinnamon mixture from another recipe that I rolled the cookies in before baking. Tey turned out GREAT!

My husband hated these. I thought they were ok. I added mini chocolate chips. They were way too sweet. I also tried another batch without the chocolate chips and rolled the balls in cinnamon/sugar. These were a little better. Just ok
