These cookies are wonderful. My son devoured three and wanted more. A friend stopped by and had five. The only change I made to the recipe was adding one teaspoon salt. I used the yellow cake mix, added 1 1/2 cups chocolate chips to half the batch, and topped the remainder with sprinkles (similar to sugar cookies). Very, very good cookies that look great out of the oven.

After reading all the rave reviews, I was excited to try these cookies. They were very easy to make, and my kids enjoyed making them with me, but they just didn't taste all that great. They tasted more like packaged cake mix than does a cake made from packaged cake mix! I won't make these again -- I prefer Toll House, or the Award Winning Chocolate Chip Cookies on this site that use the pudding mix. Now those are some COOKIES!

Excellent recipe! Try them and be amazed how tasty and beautiful they turn out. I added Macadamia nuts, white chocolate chunks and Heath bar bits to a vanilla cake mix. Everyone wonders what my "secret" is!

Thank you a million times over for this recipe. It is absolutely the best cookie recipe I have tried (and I've made LOTS). I made it the way your recipe suggests except I cut down on the oil a tad. I cant way to make it with different kinds of cake mixes and different flavored chips.

Very good but does taste like cake mix. However if someone didn't know it was cake mix they may not suspect. 1 c. chips is not quite enough. Next time I'll use 1 1/2 c. My husband is enjoying them. I used a 1 T cookie scoop and got about 46 cookies avg.-size.

A quick and wonderful recipe for those who need options in their dessert. My husband is allergic to chocolate and sugar cookies get old. I halfed the batter put chocolate chips in one half for my kids and put oatmeal, walnuts and cinnamon in the other half for my husband. Turned out great. My only modification was a tablespoon of water to the oat mixture to help with the stiffness. A winner in my house!

Great cookies! I used duncan hines devils food cake mix and added milk choc. chips and walnuts. They were so moist and good. I can't wait to try them with peanut butter chips. As far as the ingredients go , I feel they are perfectly accurate. Especially if you use duncan hines brand. I do not know how the yellow cake mix will turn out, but I'm not worried. Although these cookies are a close second to my favorite choc. peanut butter cup cookies on this site, I will probably make these more because they're faster, easier and just as good. But we all know there's nothing like the goodness baking from scratch.

good for using up extra cake mix!! I found that a chocolate cake mix is better than yellow or white. Very chewy cookies. They taste excellent, but definitely use 1/3 cup oil rather than 1/2 cup.

I've been making these for years to rave reviews but have never tried adding baking powder. This worked well! I found that 1/3 cup oil as suggested by others, wasn't enough to stir the dough. I used chocolate cake mix (ALWAYS Duncan Hines) and added chocolate chips. I split the dough, added nuts to half and sprinkled those with nuts with powdered sugar after baking, so people could tell the difference. All were yummy. This is a great last minute recipe and people never guess it's made of cake mix.

I made these for a church event and they were a hit! I didn't have any chocolate chips so I used red, white and blue star sprinkles right when I took them out of the oven! They tasted great! Can't wait to try them with chocolate chips! Thanks Angela!

I made these with one yellow and one spice mixand doubled except oil. I used 1/2 C. oil and 1/2 C. chunky unsweetened applesauce. It looked a little wet so I added 1/3 C. of flour. Still looked wet, but tasted great. I also added 3/4 C. each of walnuts, raisins, and cinnamon bits. Yummmmmmmmm

these were really good and quick! I also used only 1/3 cup of oil per suggestions and the cookies were perfect. While I reccomend the yellow cake and chocolate cake cookies, my family didn't care for the spice ones at all. Matter of taste I guess, but worth playing around with!

Last night I made chocolate cookies with peanut butter morsals and regular chocolate chip. I did find the batter to be very greasy (your palms are covered with grease when you roll them into balls) but they did turn out to be excellent tasting and a really nicely shaped (thick not flat) cookies overall. I also found that the batter yielded 3 dozen cookies. Thanks for the recipe!!

This was so simple and they tasted so great!! I used a yellow cake mix with mini M&M's that were leftover from Halloween candy that I had in the freezer, too easy!! I used some of the other reviews and used a little less oil. We have a local store that has left over funfetti cake mixes 4/$1 and what a great way to make cookies for $.25. I just bought a spice cake mix and can't wait to try that. Thanks, for making this busy mom's baking easier!

Great cookies = power! My roommates have begged for these cookies numerous times and enjoyed them thoroughly. The recipe calls for too much oil, and the cookies themselves are a bit dry. I will try tweaking the amounts next time for better results.

Very moist like brownies. I replaced the oil with unsweetened applesauce and it worked out really well. Used chocolate cake mix and added chocolate chips. Very dark and rich. Would love to try this with other cake mixes and other add-ins. My co-workers really liked the cookies.

I love this recipe! I always add about 1/4 c cocoa powder and chocolate chips. They are always a hit, and nobody can ever tell that they are from cake mix. Since I am a new mom I am always looking for easy and fast recipes. This one is great!

I've made these twice in a week and used previous recommendations of using less oil, I used 1/3 cup oil and they turned out great. I used a chocolate fudge cake mix and put mint chocolate chips in it. I also made it with peanut butter chips, both were good but I prefer the mint chips and will make it again. I look forward to trying it with the yellow cake mix too.

You'd better like super-sweet cookies if you're going to make these! :) Althought I found them way too sweet, most people who tried them said they liked them. They are really fast and easy to make, though, since they don't require measuring out a whole lot of dry ingredients or creaming together sugar and butter, like most cookie recipes do. The two combinations I tried were: spice cake mix with butterscotch morsels & vanilla cake mix with Heath bits and macadamia nuts.
