These were just eh. I followed the advice and added 2T of oil and some vanilla and they still turned out pretty dry. Not what I was looking for. I had my heart set on chewy cookies, but live and learn! Not like I threw them away or anything.

These are good. I did follow other reviews and added 2 tbsp of vegetable oil. They do spread out quite a bit I would use a dark pan vs light pan). I stored them in a Tupperware container, and they still tasted light and fluffy after a week.

So glad to find this recipe! I used rainbow chip cake mix and chocolate ships. YUM! That's what is great about this recipe, you can use any flavor mix!

Super easy. I thought that these would be rich enough so didn't add the chocolate chips, but did add 2-3 tsp of peppermint flavoring. They taste really close to girl scout thin mints, yummm!

I loved how easy these cookies were. I really like that you can be creative by just changing the mix.

I used 2 eggs and 1/2 cup shortening or oil. The cookies rise more and are moist. Also, I take them out when they are not quite done and let them finish baking on the tray while it cools. SOOOO GOOD!!!

Amazingly quick to make. A great fallback as these are ingredients that we'd always have on hand. I too added 2 TBSP veg oil & 1 tsp vanilla but it still tastes "cakey" to me. I think that I'd follow the advice of 1 egg+1 yolk next time instead of 2 eggs. Used 1/2c dark M&Ms + 1/2c semi sweet chips and would just use the chips next time (the M&Ms made them a bit too sweet.)

I've made these cookies 3 times now (chocolate with vanilla frosting & sprinkles, chocolate with mini Reese's pieces and funfetti with matching frosting) and I've received RAVE reviews every time! The possibilities are endless with these cookies. Took 10 minutes to bake (the funfetti took a little longer) but seconds to disappear. This is my simple quick go to cookie recipe.

Dealing with reality, cake mix cookies are not going to taste homemade, but like cake mix. So, my 4 star rating is based on the recipe, not the taste. I felt the mixture was a bit dry and added a little vanilla for some extra liquid (and flavor). Outside of that, it is what it is--a very quick recipe for cookies that are chewy and taste like a cake mix. That's what I wanted the evening I made them.
