I used parchment paper, baking at 350 for 14 min. I tried to loosen them right away and got misshapen ones, so next batch I leaf on the paper for a few minutes and they turned out great. I don't know how they got 72 servings, I got 4 1/2 dozen. I added a bit more cinnamin, and wished I had added more. I used about 1 1/4 c. sultana raisins and would have loved to add nuts, but made them for coffee time at church and none are allowed. Perfect for making & taking. They all looked uniform and didn't spread out much. I wondered if I should have added more oatmeal because you can't see it, but as the dough sits between batches it does thicken. Yes, there is a cake taste, more cinnamin might help that. I have another recipe for a chocolate/choc chip cake mix, and you do have to watch for the perfect time to take them out. I say you wait until they have risen, then "fall". If you take them out too soon they aren't cooked right. Thus the 350 for 2 extra minutes helps.

These come together so easily. I added another 1/2 c. of raisins and 1 tsp. of vanilla. I did chill the dough for a couple hours before making them into cookies. It helped make prettier cookies that didn't spread. These are very rich tasting. I'd make these again, especially for a bake sale or cookie exchange. NOTE: This made 32 medium sized cookies.

Awesome! I didn't change a thing except adding the extra 1 tsp of cinnamon. My husband ate 6 from off the cooling rack before waiting for them to cool. Wonderful warm with a cup of coffee. So wonderful. Love the use of a cake mix which I seem to always have stuffed in the pantry.

These made a lot, but were gone by the next day. I will also play with using other flavors of cake mixes. Yumm.

These were definately the best oatmeal cookies I have made so far. Everyone loved them. I added extra cinnamon and different pieces of dried fruit, I think chocolate would work nicely, too. I'll do that tonight. Enjoy!

Followed the recipe exactly. They are nice and chewy, but I definitely recommend an extra tsp of cinnamon. I made about 4 dozen. Yummy!

You'd never know that these were made from a cake mix. Flavor is fantastic, but I wonder if the timing or the temperature is off a little or something? My cookies never cooked all the way through, and they are VERY delicate coming off of the cookie sheet. And they stuck a little bit to the sheet. They cool down great though.

The taste was great and the texture was wonderful. I added a little extra cinnamon and 1/4 tsp of vanilla extract. My only complaint is that the cookies were a little on the thin side. I also calculated the recipe for 36 cookies & only got about 20 when all was said and done. The cake mix made the recipe very easy!
