These were outstanding! I divided the dough into 4ths and stirred choc chips into one batch, raisins and cinnamon in another, butterscotch chips and cinnamon in another, and butterscotch chips, raisins and cinnamon in the last.... one was as good as the other, loved them all! My only complaint with this recipe is the oatmeal gets a little lost in there, next time I may add more and a little more liquid to compensate (another egg maybe or a little water?)

These are easy and fantastic! Endless combination possibilities. Up next- spice cake mix with white chocolate chips or cream cheese icing!!!

Easy and tasty! Crunchy yet chewy yet soft. Left out the walnuts for the picky eaters, but still feel virtuous serving the oats in the yellow cake mix cookies. Made them with my medium sized scoop and flattened with the bottom of a glass. Perfect rounds!

I had trouble with this recipie. It did not indicate the state the butter was supposed to be. melted, soft or what? Mine was soft but not room temperature so it didn't blend with the eggs. The dough was sticky and certainly not rollable. I don't know what I did wrong. They tasted ok but not as easy to make as other cake mix cookies I have used.

Great recipe. Very sweet. I made the cookies using a yellow mix, and added (with the eggs and butter) 1 mashed banana, a few T. of orange juice and 1/2 pkg. of butterscotch chips. Cooked for 10 min. and they were a hit. I'm calling them bananas foster cookies.

the recipe was super easy. I only had chocolate cake mix so I added chocolate chips instead of walnuts. The kids gobbled them up my only complaint is that the walnut sized ones we made came out a little dry and I like a soft fluffy cookie.

A quick cookie that tasted good. Although they didn't taste homemade, they were nice & chewy. I added chocolate chips so they were more of a chocolate chip oatmeal cookie.

After reading the reviews, instead of using nuts I added 3/4 tsp vanilla and 2/3 cup M&M's. I used 1/8 cup scoop and made the cookies a little larger than usual. When they were finished, they looked and tasted just like Mrs. Field's Butter Cookies with M&M's from the mall! Both my teenagers rated them "incredible!" but I found them to be almost too sweet with a slight after taste.

Fantastic! I added 1 cup white chocolate chips and 1/2 cup macadamia nuts to mine (instead of walnuts). Wow! Took only 5 minutes to put together. Thanks for the recipe!

I used a Pillsbury mix and I thought these had a "cake mix flavor" to them. I usually prefer Duncan Hines so maybe I will try with that and see if I notice a big difference. But they were easy enough and I'm sure the first graders will gobble them up no matter what.

I was very hesitant to try these, having never made "cake mix" cookies and because i was concerned about the cakey texture. WRONG! They turned out excellent. I skipped the nuts but did everything else as directed and they are very popular in my household. They are crispy on the outside and a little softer on the inside, they look very nice and taste as though they are made "from scratch". Definitely a time saver and the only reason it's only getting 4 stars is cuz i feel guilty about cheating with the cake mix!!! ;)

These were so easy and very tasty. For variation, I made one batch with raisins (boiled in rum) and oatmeal, and another batch with walnuts and chocolate chips. Thank you for the recipe!

This recipe was okay. I added chocolate chips to the mixture and omitted the nuts. Personally, I thought it tasted like a crispy cupcake. My son loved them but i wasn't a big fan.

These are super easy. They aren't really my favorite cookie but they are good. I like the addition of the oatmeal it adds a nice touch. We used m&m's instead of walnuts for use as a school snack for my sons birthday and everyone thought they were tasty. Worth a shot. Great way to use a cake mix that you haven't yet used up. I'm sure it would work with any flavor!!
