Cake Mix Cookies I

“A friend gave me this recipe several months ago. I have tried several variations including using a carrot cake mix with white chocolate chips and chocolate cake mix with butterscotch chips - the variety is endless! Note: I haven't had a great deal of success in storing these cookies more than one or two days. They seem to toughen up rather quickly.”

We make these several times a week! Last night we mixed marshmellows and graham crackers in Devil's Food cake for Smores cookies! Yummy! Never have a problem with them getting hard but I make them bigger and take them out while they are still gooey in the middle! I highly recommend!

These were soooo easy and soooo good! I love how you can mix up the flavors. I had devil's food fudge mix on hand and mixed 1/2 of the batter with reeses peanut butter chips and 1/2 the batter with dark chocolate chips/toffee chips. The peanut butter one was by far my favorite. Can't wait to play around with other mixes! I added another egg also because I couldn't seem to get all the cake mix moist with just the two. Really really good!

These aren't bad if you need something quick, but you do have to add something to them. I tried several varieties & only one got a passing grade with my family. I tried the following add ins: chocolate chip mint chocolate flavored oatmeal, raisins & nuts (these ended up almost like a sweetbread & were by far the best flavored)

It doesnt get any easier than this unless you are buying pre-packaged! I used a box of devil's food cake mix and rolled the dough into balls and coated them in powdered sugar for a crinkly effect like another reveiwer suggested and they were perfect! I also added 2 Tbls. water like suggested. They were done in exactly 8 minutes! I can't wait to try more variations! Perfect cookies for giving away during the Christmas season due to the low cost and ease! Next, I'm trying the chocolate cake mix with Andes peppermint crunch baking chips!

Really easy cookie recipe. They are very rich, even for my kids (with an enormous sweet tooth).

I made these using applesauce in place of the oil and Egg Beaters for the eggs. I used a milk chocolate cake mix and used only 1/2 c. of Reese's Peanut Butter chips. Baked 10 minutes. Perfect little treats without the guilt! Thanks for this recipe Nicole.

This is a fun recipe to play with, I used poppy seeds and a lemon cake mix. I added the 2 tablespoons of water like another person suggested and got out my cake decorating kit to make the swirls to fancy them up. This was fun thanks for the easy inexpensive recipe!

if the cookies get hard just put them in the microwave for like 10 sec or less and they will soften up.

French Vanilla with chocolate chips are our favorite. The variety of cake mixes that can be used is endless! I rolled the dough of chocolate cake mix balls in icing sugar and it gave it a nice crinkle effect. (Very pretty) Thx.
