After reading other reviews..I subbed the oil for applesauce and used only 1 cup of chips! Very Good and Easy!!! and mine are "Lowfat" now! I always sub applesauce for oil in baking whenever possible! It's a old WW secret!

I needed something sweet, something quick with minimal cleanup, and something reasonably delicious for the effort. Knowing this would be for children who would just enjoy rather than scrutinize, this was just what I was after. Still, this begins with a cake mix which I always try to camouflage to hide the telltale cake mix taste. In this case I added a teaspoon each of vanilla and chocolate extract. I’m not a butterscotch chip fan (too sweet in my opinion, and not the most tasty either), so I substituted Nestle’s milk chocolate and peanut butter swirl chips – and only HALF the amount called for, which was plenty. I’ve made similar cake mix cookies before, but with butter rather than oil, so of course I was curious to compare the difference. I must confess that after I mixed these up I was a little turned off by the greasy look of the dough. Once baked, however, they were just fine. In fact, they baked up real pretty, with minimal spreading. They are sort of crispy on the outside, but bite into them and it’s almost like a soft, fudgy brownie. Not bad! I think it’s safe to say the kids I baked these for will scarf them up appreciatively – and so will their parents…

These are really good. I think they taste better when you use a stick of softened butter instead of the oil. I use red velvet cake, white chips, and mint extract for Christmas cookies.

AWESOME! My nephews say this is their fav of all the cookies I have made them!

I agree with those who said the dough was greasy and unappetizing. I also felt there were too many chips. I'm going to try this again but with less chips and applesauce instead of oil (maybe a little butter). I also think a splash of some kind of complementary liqueur (such as Amaretto or Kahlua) would add a nice dimension to these cookies.

Excellent!! YUMMMM!! As per some of the other reviews, I did use a little less than 1/2 cup oil. Also, 2 cups chips is a bit much. Otherwise, DELICIOUS!! This recipe is definately a keeper! Super simple!

Yummy cookies. Used 1/3 cup of oil. Used milk chocolate cake mix. Used 1/4 cup Ground up Hershy's milk chocolate with toffee and almond nuggets & 1/4 cup of white chocolate chips. I'm not big on sweets, and these were just perfect!

good, but way too many chips for the recipe. could hardly form the cookie dough balls b/c of all those extra chips! anyway, quick and easy and a nice flexible recipe, but nothing extra special.

Yummy and super easy!

Very good and very easy!! I look forward to trying more combinations. Thanks!! :)
