Recommend highly. I made mini cookies and made a simple buttercream frosting instead. They are for a bake sale and thought the cream cheese frosting would get too slippery because its a sale outside and what if the day was warm. The batter is thick as is most recipes made with a cake mix. I rolled up little balls that were mabye 3/4" and just touched the tops to flatten a little. They spread wonderfully and after they cooled I matched circles that would best fit together. When I put the frosting on and then the top I did take a small untensil and smoothes the outside and added sprinkles by sprinkling around edges. Pretty

Made for potluck. LOTS of people requested the recipe and said it was the best cookie they have ever had.

These were dynamic! I halved the recipe, since I only had one cake mix on hand. I also substituted pre-made cream cheese frosting for the filling. super easy and TASTY!

The hubby absolutely loved them, he ate them all. I on the other hand didn't really care much for them I think the cookies need to be cooked a little longer to me it feels like the cookie is raw and I could taste the saltines of the mix. I will them again and I am going to cook the cookie a couple min longer.oh and I loved the frosting .

These are super simple and delicious! I make these every year for Christmas and I usually tint the icing (1/2 red and 1/2 green), for a festive look. Everyone really enjoys these! Thanks for posting. :)

These are AWESOME! So easy to make! The first time I made them, I noticed the cookie dough was SUPER oily. Don't worry about this though, they come out beautifully despite this!! I also agree with other reviews regarding bake time. They come out much better if they are slightly underbaked. About 9 minutes in my oven. I love making them 'mini' size . . .SO delicious!!

These are absolutely incredible. I could eat the whole plate. They are amazing after letting them sit for a night. Like a lot of other people said, take them out sort of early. Before they look they are really done. And I ran out of the filling, so I would also making just a bit more than that. -----UPDATE-----I made more filling the second time and it was much much better. So, adjusted amounts for the filling were 10 oz cream cheese, 3 cups powdered sugar, 5 tbsp butter, and a little over a tsp of vanilla. Also, the first time I made it with 1 package devil's food and one package dark chocolate cake mix, and I liked that a little better.
