I loved this recipe!! it was fast and easy. I didnt add any chocolate chips bc i didnt have any, i just added oatmeal and raisins. They were sweet and did taste like cake, like a cookie cake, hahaha. everyone @ home loved them. its a wonderful alternative to when u feel like making some homemade cookies but dnt have all the ingredients. For Valentines i am going to make these with devils food cake, chocochips, and walnuts ...

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. Second time I made these, I added 1 1/4 cups mini chocolate chips and no nuts. Awesome! Thanks for the recipe!
