Just a tiny bit too cake like for me, but then again what do you expect with a cookie recipe with cake mix?

This was a very yummy recipe. I didn't have the apple sauce so I used butter. I've also tried spice cake and yellow cake and I think I prefer the yellow cake with extra spices added. It is a very fluffy cookie, so expect that. After baking they tasted like they need a little something so I drizzled a little glaze (powdered sugar mixed with milk) over them and they turned out nice!

SUPER EASY! These would be perfect for woopie pies. I used German Chocolate Cake Mix and added some instant coffee to make Pumpkin Mocha Cakesters. So moist!! I also used oil instead of apple sauce.

These were a hit at a potluck, everyone wanted the recipe! I put a little bit of whipped cream cheese frosting on to give it a little color, I think it also helped the flavor. yes these are "cakey" but you're using a packaged cake mix, it should be kind of expected. Will be making again!

Oh my, these are soooo good! Our local Kroger Grocery Store sells a "muffin top cookie" and this recipe is the closest I have found to replicating them. I will admit I used a yellow cake mix, cinnamon applesauce, almond extract and pumpkin pie spice. The results were sensational and I am going to use this as a base to make orange cranberry ones next time. That said, these totally satisfied my need for something autumn-y and pumpkin-y!

BEYOND cake-y. However, they do make very nice muffins.

I used a sugar free cake mix, and added an extra egg and made muffins. YUMMY :)

Not really thrilled with these "cookies". I wish I had read the reviews before I made them. They are definately more like a muffin than a cookie. The taste is ok but I am not thrilled with it. It would have been just as easy for me to make cookies from scratch. They are just OK but will not make them again.
