Wonderful! I used yellow cake, chocolate chips and copped pecans. I was able to get 41 good sized cookies out of this, thus reducing the calories per cookie. =)

These are great for school lunches. I also use this recipe when I teach a Kids Cooking School for my local school district. I agree with some of the other reviewers in that the yellow cake mix has an odd flavor. However using a chocolate cake mix is a real winner!

Is it a brownie? Is it a cookie? It's the best of both worlds!! One of those rare occasions where the first attempt surpassed my expectations... We tried Devil's Food cake w/ White chocolate chips. Using 1/3 cup oil should definately suffice as long as you grease the pan. Try adding 1/4 tsp. vanilla & bake for 10 minutes. Yum, yum. NO cookie dough on hand ~ NO PROBLEM!!

I've been using this recipe for about 6 mos. every Thurs. night for our Bible Quizers. I make 3 boxes (2 doz each) and make different kinds every week. I've used every kind of cake mix and never had a prob. One of my secrets was given to me from my mother-in-law, bake cookies til just light brown around the bottom, take them out and let them finish baking on the sheet. ALWAYS WORKS FOR ME, haven't had a complaint yet. Followed the instructions and used a cookie scoop.

This recipe is sooo easy to do and was a great hit with my family. I used the Duncan H french vanilla Ultra moist recipe and added the chocolate chips. I also used only 1/3c. oil and put a piece of bread in the jar with them. and found that i had to bake them for 13 min instead of the 8 to 10 but no biggy. I just loved this and will use it more often in the future. It is quick and easy. I give a huge thumbs up for this recipe.

These are the best easy cookies you'll ever make! Keep some cake mixes and mix-ins on hand and you'll always be prepared. They take no time to make and bake. It's also fun to try different combinations. We liked spice cake mix and raisins the best...they taste like the best oatmeal-raisin cookies you've ever had, minus the grittiness of the oatmeal. We also like golden cake mix with cinnamon chips. Chocolate cake mix with coconut wasn't that great - it would probably be better if the coconut was sprinkled on top (we mixed it in). For the kids, I've used vanilla mix with m&ms and they loved it! You really don't need too much of the mix-ins...if you put in too much, the dough breaks apart a little. Try these...you'll love them!

Thankfully, I put a piece of bread in my cookie jar - otherwise these would have been hard almost immediately! They actually turned out to be quite yummy. I made a white icing and put it between the cookies and made little cookie sandwiches - which I'm sure also helped to keep them moist. Definately keep in mind they these will/may get hard almost as soon as they exit the oven.

This cookie just didn't do anything for me. I used Duncan Hines yellow cake, as others suggested, and it tasted just like yellow cake mix. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't good either. I even tried adding some oatmeal to the second half of the batch, it didn't do much. I think this probably would be much better with a chocolate mix, but I definitely won't make it again with a yellow.

These are great cookies!! My 2 daughters love them and can't wait to make them themselves. Like others, we used 1/3 cup oil. That is the only change. We made them yesterday and today they are still soft and chewy. Thanks so much!

It is the best quick and easy cookie that even your child can do. You can also try it out cake mixes and adding you own special ingredients in.

These cookies are OK, they do taste like they were from a cake mix. Perfect for throwing something quick together for a gathering or school function. They're easy and there isn't really any prep work.

These are a definite keeper, excellent flavor. I really enjoyed these cookies and they were a big hit when I took them to a Church Cookie Exchange. I added Almond Toffee Chips and Milk Chocolate to Fudge Marble Cake Mix, YUMM! However, I was glad had made them that morning. I am not too crazy about the texture the next day. Next time I will either add a slice of white bread to my cookie tin or try as others have said for this recipe and add a spritz of water to the cookies after they have sat a day or so.

I made this recipe just as written (with a yellow cake mix) and was very disappointed. It tasted really bad. It was like an undercooked yellow cake with chocolate chips. It was easy but, that doesn't matter if the end product isn't good. Maybe it was the cake mix I used. I decided to try again with a devil's food cake mix and it was much better.

I used devil's food with mini chocolate chips and they turned out great. Some cake cookies spread out too much while cooking but these look perfect! Thanks for the easy recipe!

These cookies are so easy to make. My 1 1/2 year old helped me! We made 2 batches, 1 with yellow cake & 1 with chocolate cake. We added toffee, chocolate chips, and walnuts. Adjusting the baking time will make for a chewier or crispier cookie. The chocolate cooked faster than the yellow did in my oven.

This recipe was very good and most importantly very easy! My husband loves M&M cookies so I used mini M&M's for my mix-in. I used Duncan Hines Supermoist Yellow cake mix as another reviewer suggested and 1/3 cup of oil like other suggestions. They turned out great although I needed to bake them longer than 10 minutes; it was about 13 minutes. Great recipe!
