Cake Mix Cookies VIII

WOW WOW WOW! I've been a baker all my life and wanted to find an easy cookie recipe to make with my 4 yr. daughter and this one takes the cake. I've tried 3 other cake mix cookies from this site, and this is by far #1. You can use any kind of cake mix, I like Butter Yellow because is gives a nice buttery taste and I took another reviewer's advice and added 2 tablespoon oil. This keeps the cookie SUPER moist. Definitely an 8 min. cookie if you want moist & chewy and stays this way for days--if it last that long in your house. Great to make with kids, many variations possible and good for giving or when you're in a pinch. Look no further for the 'short-cut' cookie recipe!! I love these! (and so does my waistline)- Aahh!

Oh man, this is the BEST basic cake-mix cookie recipe. I love strawberry cake, so that was the mix I used and added 1 cup white chips and 1 cup pecans and it made the most yummy cookies. I used a 2 tsp. scoop and made 44 2-inch cookies. I've noticed with this and other cake mix cookie recipies that the cookies do not spread while baking, so unless you want puffy round drops, you need to flatten the cookies out a bit before you put them in the oven.

My grandma taught me how to make theses when I was little. You can use any flavor cake mix along with 2 eggs and 1/2 cup oil instead of butter. You practically can't mess these up! I love to use butter pecan cake mixes or red velvet with cream cheese frosting! My husband likes a spice cake mix with a packet instant oatmeal, 1/2 cup brown sugar and 1 cup riasins. They seem to stay soft even without being sealed extra tight. My best advice, don't overbake them and you'll never go wrong. A great thing to experiment with, get the kid's involved!

If you don't want the cookies to be "cakey" then only add one egg or add just the yolk of the second egg.

This recipe is easy and delicious. I also gave it five stars. I made two batches the first batch I added 1T. of oil and a 1t. vanilla. They turned out, but they were a little airy and not really smooth. The second batch I did as lesleysalyer recommended - I added 2T. of oil and 1t. of vanilla. They were delicious and beautiful! Thanks Lesley for the recommendation!

Mmmm...talk about soft cookies! I followed what other reviewers were saying they did and used 2tsp. Vegetable oil and 1tsp. vanilla. They were super easy to make and came out perfect! The only cake mix we had on hand was the Pillsbury devil's food cake mix and they turned out great. I brought them to a family BBQ where they were given rave reviews! If you're short on time then these are the cookies for you. I gave it 4 stars for the quickness it takes to make them and great taste! I would definitely make these again if I was running short on time and needed cookies fast. Thanks a lot for the recipe Kristi!!

i give this five stars because they were incredibly easy to make and really good. i had my doubts when i was mixing them, they seemed really dry, but i added 2 tsp. of oil and 1 tsp. of vanilla and they were really yummy. i used some kind of triple fudge cake mix with chocolate chips already in it - delicious but a bit too rich. would try a plain chocolate or devil's food cake next time. maybe some heath bites...thanks kristi for a super easy recipe!

Not Good! I used a duncan hines dark chocolate fudge cake, 1 tablespoon of canola oil, instead of 1 cup semi-sweet chips only used 1/2 cup. Replaced 1/2 cup of semi-sweet chips with peanut butter chips. 1st tray 3" cookies baked 10 minutes...very flat and bottom over done, 2nd tray 2" cookie-pressed top down slightly - baked 8 minutes--very flat and overdone on the bottom. 3rd tray--2" cookie, baked 8 minutes - centers raw (all three trays were baked on a SILPAT and dark cookie sheet, as well as oven thermometer reading 350 degrees. 4th sheet - 2" cookie, baked 8 minutes using parchment paper...not much difference than the other 3 attempts. Not a good chocolate flavor or even a good looking cookie Good thing the cake mix only cost .88 cents!

HELPFUL TIP FOR THICK AND CHEWY: I was worried about mine turning out flat like many users said but I think the problem is they are overmixing. Use room temp butter, and as the directions say "STIR" with spoon not mixer. After you've "smushed" in the butter into the batter, and the must add 2T oil, and 1t vanilla, THEN add the eggs and chocolate chips. I also then stick this in the fridge for 30 min or even overnight when I'm preparing ahead ...or in the freezer for 15 min. I bake for 10 min (my oven is quick). Basically if you let this cool on the cookie sheet for 15 min. and the middle is still too gooey, just stick it in the oven again, and add 4 min. I do this with any cookie recipe, and always works. I posted 2 pics. One after not putting in fridge BUT NOT OVERMIXING, and then ones left in fridge plus NOT OVERMIXING. Clearly a difference in thickness. My husband likes flat and chewy, and I like thick and chewy, so both work! You can use yellow cake mix w/1/2C oats and 1/2C chocolate chips. Yum! A wonderful fast recipe with many ways to experiment!

This cookie is delicious! I found that they made 40 cookies rather than 24 cookies for me, which also lowered the calories to about 100 calories each which was a nice bonus. These cookies *are* light and kind of airy which I really like about them. They are also chewy and delicious! A lot like a chocolate brownie. Great recipe and sooo easy!

I hereby dub thee Lazy Cake & Bake cookies, and therefore I LOVE them! Add the 2T veg. oil and 1t vanilla extract, it does ensure moist cookies. I did a choc. fudge cake mix with 1t of mint extract and walnuts - AWESOME. Also did a butter yellow cake mix with Ghirardelli choc. chips mixed in - equally AWESOME! So many variations for time-challenged and kitchen-intimidated persons like myself - I can't wait to try more!

These came out really well. After following the recipe, I added 2T of oil and 1t of vanilla. They have a different texture than regular cookie dough cookies, but it wasn't like cake either. Kind of in between. Good in a pinch if you are craving cookies and don't want to start from scratch.

Great moist cookie if you like soft & chewy. I used Duncan Hines Moist Deluxe, Devil's Food Cake Mix and replaced chocolate chips with peanut butter chips. I added no oil-just the 1 stick butter and 2 eggs - like the recipe says. I spooned the batter out on the cookie sheets and baked at 350F for 10 minutes. The dough spread out easily but didn't totally flatten, nor burn on the bottom. These came out perfectly for me. I just made cookies again this time using Pillsbury Moist Surpreme (with the pudding in the mix), Golden Butter Recipe. I used 1 stick of butter and 2 eggs, but I also added 1 tsp. of vanilla, 1/2 cup finely chopped walnuts and 1 cup choc chips. I did not add any extra oil. I dropped by tablespoon and baked for 12 minutes at 350F. Again I got a nice, spread cookie ~2 inches in diameter with a golden-brown bottom. I don't think the extra oil is needed for the pudding-type or extra moist cake mixes.

added 2 T veg oil and 1 t vanilla as a another reviewer suggested. Easy and tasty!

love this recipe. I have tried a lot of varieties. one of my favs, lemon cake mix and add in 1 c. coconut.

The possibilities are ENDLESS with this recipe. I've made these cookies five times in the last two weeks and, so far, my favorite is butter pecan cake mix with white chocolate chips and walnuts. The kids like them with chocolate cake mix and either semisweet or white chocolate chips. I plan to keep making these with different combinations. In every batch I've added two tablespoons of vegetable oil and one teaspoon of vanilla. Also, my cookies take between nine and ten minutes to bake. Great recipe; definitely a family favorite!

Pretty good, but not my favorite.

I just finished baking these cookies and I have to say-- THEY ARE FANTASTIC! I've made a few batches of really good cookies from recipes I've found here. But this one, by far, my family's fave. And I felt like I was cheating because it's such an easy recipe, but you couldn't tell by the flavor that it is boxed cake mix! Yummmm! I added 2 tablespoon of oil and added 1/2 cup of walnuts too. Those were my only changes. Next time I'll try white choc and raspberry chips.

easy, easy , easy. followed the recipe, turned out great.

I decorate cakes and have found that Betty Crocker has by far the best tasting cake mix on the market. It also makes the best tasting cake mix cookies. I use different flavored cake mixes and they all turn out great.

I used devils food cake mix and macademia nuts and white chips. They turned out GREAT. I also made a second batch with yellow cake mix and added lemon flavoring. Bothe were very YUMMMMMMMMY>>>>>> Thank you for the recipe.

The cookies spread out and flattened a lot, and the flavor was just so-so. Really need more cocoa or something to give them flavor.

Was fast and actually enjoyed making but...not something I would do again!

Awesome! Used milk chocolate cake mix, added 2 tsp oil, as other reviewers suggested, used 1 cup M&Ms instead of chocolate chips. Recipe made exactly 24 cookies, baked them for 8 minutes, looked underdone but came out perfect after sitting. Kids gobbled them up, and I think they were even better the second day. So easy, I will be making these again soon!

I didn't like these.

These are soft, quick and easy. by far a staple in my cook book for a delicious fast dessert after a main meal. the left overs I brought into work that week were a huge hit.

A big hit! We needed something quick and easy and this was it - and they were super yummy!

This is SUCH a great recipe. I do use 1/2 C oil instead of butter though. I also have tried this with spice cake mix---yum, and with Funfetti cake mix and added coconut to that, YUM YUM!!!!

These cookies are amazing! My son picked lemon cake mix with white chocolate chips and we grated some lemon zest in the dough and he won a blue ribbon at the fair. Not to mention appreciation of my co-workers when I took some to work.

This recipe is great. I did a chocolate cake mix and added Toffee Chips. Soooo good! Everyone at my job ate them, and they ask me every week to bring in some more. I can't wait to try out a batch with lemon cookies -and red velvet with cream cheese frosting! Yuum!

OMG these are YUMMY!! I used a chocolate cake mix and added a tsp of vanilla and 2 tbsp of oil. I also used 1 whole egg and 1 egg yolk, rather than 2 whole eggs, because I didnt want the cakey consistency. Instead of chocolate chips, I used chopped white chocolate and dried raspberries. Baked for 10 min and they are PEFERECTION!!! A thin crisp outside and chewy soft inside - like a delicious brownie cookie - and so very easy. My 3 yr old practically made them herself!! I bake for others a lot and these not only taste wonderfully but they LOOK beautiful as well. Thank you this is a KEEPER!!

These are AWESOME!! I used 1/4c shortening & 1/4c butter. They are perfect cookies!

Easy schmeasy and very tasty! Added 1 T oil, a small handful of brown sugar, 1 t vanilla. Also will be adding walnuts on another round. These are GREAT!

I LOVE this recipe! It is quick, easy, and delicious. I always add the 2 tsp. of oil and 1 tsp. of vanilla as recommended in other reviews. I've been trying all different combinations and haven't had a bad cookie yet. My favorite: If you like german chocolate cake, you have to try this - I mixed a german chocolate cake mix, 1/4 cup brown sugar, chopped pecans, coconut, and the other usual ingredients. I rolled the dough into balls, then rolled them in coconut, and baked. It is a cookie that tastes just like the cake!

So many reviewers said to add 2 tablespoons of oil plus a teaspoon of vanilla extract, so that was what I did. I like to bake most of my desserts from scratch so I felt a bit like I was cheating by using a boxed cake mix... but the cookies turned out SO GOOD -- soft and chewy! I've tried many good from-scratch cookie recipes but they're never this soft and chewy. I know many friends are going to ask for the recipe once they try these cookies and I'm going to have to sheepishly say it's actually a boxed cake mix! Anyway, I was able to get 25 3-inch cookies and they spread to just the right thickness on their own -- I didn't have to flatten them a bit before baking like some reviewers had to. I added walnuts along w/ milk chocolate chips and they were picture-perfect. I baked at 350 F for 10 minutes and at first, they looked as if they might be a little under-baked or too gooey, but after they cooled completely, they were perfect. Put them in an airtight container and they were still super soft and chewy the next morning (didn't harden up).

I made these exactly as the recipe stated for our youth class & they were gone in minutes!! Very chocolaty & delicious! Thanks for sharing!!

Family loved these cookies. Used milk chocolate cake mix and semi sweet chips. Can't wait to try chocolate fudge cake mix, semi sweet chips and pecans next time. I think one of the tricks is to soften the butter, but not melt it. I used a hand mixer, baked for 10 minutes (8 wasn't enough in my oven--made them too gooey in the middle) and let them cool completely before removing from the pan. They didn't spread much, but because of the thickness, they were very soft in the middle. Even with the mixer, these did not turn out "fluffy" (thank goodness since I don't like fluffy cookies) They were fudgy and yummy.

Not very good. Found the cookies to be very very very salty. This may be just me being sensitive to salty baked goods (I don't usually add as much salt to cookie recipes as it calls for) but I probably won't make these again unless I'm desperate for cookies. Will just go the from-scratch method next time. Good thing the mix only cost me $1 and it was quick and easy!

These were not the best cookies, but did in a pinch and were mildly chocolaty. I imagine there are variances based on the cake mix used.

These cookies are delicious and super easy to make-- I like to make these with my son. I followed the recipe but added 2 Tbsp. oil, 1 tsp. vanilla and 1 box of instant pudding mix. They came out soft and chewy and yummy.

A great, simple and tasty recipe! I didn't change a thing. The cookies are oh, so chocolaty and puffy enough but not cake-like at all. I look forward to changing out the chocolate chips with peanut butter chips! Yum!

This is an amazing cookie! Super moist and gooey inside and slightly crispy & chewy on the outside. I used a 9oz box of devils food cake mix to yield 16 large cookies. (I can't make more than that.. I would eat them all in 1 night!) Here are the subs I made to get the calorie per cookie to 100: 9oz devils food cake mix, 1/3C Light I Can't Believe its Not Butter, 24g pureed prune (3-4 prunes, reconstituted in a little hot water, blended) 3Tbs semi sweet choc chips & 1 bar (34g) sugar free dark chocolate, coarsely chopped. Used 1 egg and added 1/2 tsp vanilla extract. I baked them 10 minutes on parchment paper (they still looked underdone) but after resting them 2 minutes on the sheet & 2 minutes still on the paper on a wire rack, they were perfect! Perfectly spread, crackled tops and slightly gooey inside even after a day. They are so decadent and chocolately and wonderful with a glass of pinot noir at dessert time. My friends can't believe they're made with prunes and cake mix or that they're low cal and more heart healthy than your average cookie. I love this recipe... thanks for the inspiration :)

I thought these were great. Very easy to make. I may have done somthing not right though. They were a little gritty.

I loved this recipe. I also added about 2 tbsp. of oil and used the toffee chips and chocolate chips I had in the house (approx. 1/2 a cup each) and they were delicious. The first pan to go in oven was scooped and left rounded ... they did not flatten much and took a good 14 min. to bake. The 2nd pan I flattened with a fork (much like peanut butter cookies) and they still took 12 min to cook. They may seem underdone when they come out but aren't!!! They stay good for about 3 days...but that is the limit so eat up!!!

I thought these were going to be a flop. The batter was so thick I couldn't even mix in the choco chips. Several were left in the bottom of the bowl. Mine also didn't spread at all, I had to smush the second batch down. This might have been because I used a Reduced Sugar Devil's Food Mix. The finished product ended up being pretty tasty though, like a small brownie bite. I notice a lot of people adding oil & vanilla, I would probably do that if I did this again.

Easy and good! Also added one teaspoon of vanilla and a half cup of chopped walnuts.

This is an very easy quick I need a cookie now fix. The girls loves them and the neighbors kids, but some said they has a salty taste. I think next time I'll try adding some Brown sugar.

Amazing!! I used the moist deluxe cake mix by Pillsbury, added a tablespoon of olive oil, splash of vanilla and a heaping tablespoon of mayo...SOOOO MOIST!! I also used dark choc chips..wonderful! Thanks for sharing :-) I bet the choc cake mix would be great with Reeses peanut butter chips..hmmm..

These are the easiest and best tasting cookies! I used oil instead of butter and white Ghirardelli chips with a Devil's Food mix. WOW! Thank you so much for sharing.

I am so glad I tried this recipe!!! I have tried several different chocolate cookie recipes and was dissapointed every time. They always turned out hard or the flavor was terrible. And not being a big fan of cake mix cookies, I never thought to try chocolate cake mix instead of regular chocolate cookie batter. I bought several boxes of Betty Crocker cake mix on sale, so that's what I used. Then after reading some other reviews, I made sure to add 2 Tbsp vegetable oil and 1 tsp vanilla. I also substituted the baking Andes mints for reg chocolate chips. I used my small pampered chef cookie scooper to make the balls. 9 minutes was the magic time for these cookie in the oven. My first couple pans experienced quite a bit of speading because the batter had become warm, but after putting it in the fridge for a little bit they came out wonderful. Very easy to make, got lots of compliments. You couldn't even taste the cakey flavor. They remained soft and chewy for days (I made mine 3 days ago). A friend said using butter yellow cake mix with butterscotch chips and adding a little cinnamon makes a good combo as well. I am so happy I've finally found a good chocolate cookie recipe!!

Add a Rolo in each cookie! You will love them!

Turned out perfect. Used "confetti" cake mix with vanilla chunks. I found using 1/2 cup oil instead of butter eliminated the need for the 2T oil. Used cookie scoop and flattened slightly with glass dipped in flour.

I tend to overbuy cake mixes when they go on sale for under a dollar at the grocery store and this is the perfect way to use them up! I used Duncan Hines Chocolate Fudge cake mix with Reeses peanut butter chips. The kids LOVED them. I thought they were pretty good. I'd make this again, esp if I was in a big hurry or really needed to use up those cake mixes. Also came back to add that this recipe made over 40 cookies for me as well and they were pretty good sized.

Super easy and very good. I made two different batches: One with lemon cake mix, then rolled in powdered sugar. Then one with a Cinnamon Swirl cake mix and then rolled in cinnamon sugar, which ended up tasting very similar to a snickerdoodle - DELICIOUS! Thanks for a great base recipe!

Wow! Easy and delicious! The cookies had a tremendous chocolate taste! The cookie stayed moist, and not that dry, crumbly texture! However, the cookies were moist and flat (it spread). Please use MINI CHOCO CHIPS! Its even better! I will bake these again but maybe add oats or flour so its a thick chocolate cookie.

This is a good start to your basic cake mix cookie recipe, but I made the following changes: 1 egg, plus 1 egg yolk 1 tsp pure vanilla extract I always beat the softened butter together with the dry cake mix until crumbly (any cake mix will work---even store-brand) and add the eggs until combined. I then add the vanilla and fold in chocolate chunks/chips etc. Using a 2 TBSP cookie scoop, I place them 2" apart on a parchment lined cookie sheet and bake for 12 min @ 350F. These will spread, and result in a cookie that has a crispy outer shell and chewy inside. These are my go-to cookies for bake sales as they are quick, easy and inexpensive, especially when making 20 dozen.

These have become our family's favorite cookie! These are the softest cookies, even days later (if they're around that long!) I ommitted the chocolate chips, and added 2 tbsp. vegetable oil and 1 tsp. vanilla. I also shaped them into balls, rolled them in powdered sugar, and flattened them with a fork. My eight year old son and four year old daughter helped, and we had a blast with very delicious results! Thank you so much for the recipe, Kristi!

These will make the BEST sugar cookies ever. I'm a sugar cookie fanatic. People would never know that these were made with a cake mix. I simply exchanged the chocolate cake mix with a white mix. Soooo awesome!!!!

I have made these several times now, and they are always perfect. They are like the love child of a cookie and a brownie. I have used both butter and margarine, but they are really better with butter.

Yum!! Rich, soft and chewy, like little brownie bites. I used devil's food cake mix and mini milk chocolate chips. Mine needed to bake for 12 minutes. This would be amazing with chopped Andes mints instead of chocolate chips. I love how versatile this is.

I gave this recipe 5 stars. I wasn't too sure at first because the batter was so thick but I used the triple chocolate cake mix with chocolate chips already in the cake mix and added 2tsp of oil and 1tsp of almond extract and they turned out good. The next day they were even better. They were soft and chewey. Kids loved them!

Oh, my goodness! This just became my favorite cookie, and I have been making all sorts of cookies for years! So easy to make, but so moist and chocolatey... I omitted the 1 cup of chocolate chips because I used a triple chocolate fudge cake mix with chocolate chips already in it. Instead of butter, I used margarine because that was what I had on hand. I followed other reviewers' recommendations and added 2 tablespoons of canola oil and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. The dough was still so thick that my hand mixer could not handle it. I ended up using a wooden spoon to finish the mixing. I scooped the dough by leveled tablespoonfuls, and the batch yieled about 40 cookies. My baking time was about 11 minutes. I will definitely make these cookies again in a few days for Christmas!

i did these w/chocolate fudge cake mix,added walnuts,chocolate chips and butterscotch chips

My 9 yr old and I made this recipe with a strawberry cake mix and white chocolate chips for a class cookie exchange for Valentines. We didn't alter in any way. The cookies are great and all of the kids loved them.

I have been looking for a good cake-mix recipe forever! Big huge tip, don't mix two boxed at the same time unless you have a heavy duty mixer. I did two by hand and my arm fell off. I also recommend to not use the pudding in the mix ones, they turn out kind of doughy.

I use a lemon cake mix. They are FABULOUS!! My daughter and her friends beg for them. Even people who don't like lemon want the recipe. Obviously leave out the choco chips. Serve plain, sprinkled with confectioners sugar, or drizzled with a glaze. Any way they are GREAT!

A quick and convenient cookie recipe when you want cookies fast! I used only 1 egg and added 1 tsp of vanilla. Instead of adding the suggested oil (more fat and calories), I melted the margarine in the microwave for 1 minute at 50% power. It mixed up great. Then drop by teaspoon fulls onto the baking sheet and flattened slightly with the bottom of a glass coated in sugar. I used a yellow mix with chocolate chips. They were ok. Chocolate Fudge with peanut butter chips were outstanding. Lemon with no chips were like lemon sugar cookies. Next is spice mix with added oats and white chocolate chips, then strawberry with white chocolate chips.

I used a devil's food cake mix and chopped up candy cane kisses for the chips, I did have to add a few tbsps of milk as it was too dry, 1 tbsp scoop made 37 cookies, 10 minutes was perfect.

Holy cow!!! So easy and so good! I followed the directions from the other users by adding 2 tblsp. oil and 1 tsp. vanilla. I used chocolate cake mix and white chips in one batch; and the other batch with chocolate cake mix and Andes Creme de Menthe chips! My eyes rolled back in my head. :o)

I used a white cake mix, changed the butter to 1/2 C peanut butter......soooo good.

Talk about easy! and Moist and all that...added chocolate peanut butter chips to it, Little Tid bit for keeping your cookies moist in container...a slice of bread*

Like other reviewers suggested, I added 2 tbsp of vegetable oil. I didn't add the vanilla. I also mixed in mint chocolate chips!! So good!! I used a 1tbsp scoop and baked for 8 minutes and they turned out just perfect!!

Love this recipe. Used it last year for Christmas cookies with different flavors of mixes. Quick and easy and everyone loved them. Tried new variation using white chocolate chips, coconut, and orange zest!! Yum yum. You can't go wrong with this one.

I have also tried Cake Mix Cookies I and III, they were both good, but so far these are my favorite. The dough is easier to work with not too stiff or crumbly. The cookies turned out nice and moist and they spread some without being too loose.

Just made these and they are delicious-will definitely make again

Just stocked up on cake mix that was on sale. used Butter Recipe Chocolate, mixed 1 t. vanilla, 2 T oil, 2 eggs, 1/2 c butter per other suggestions (total, not in addition to original recipe). Mixed in 1 cup butterscotch chips and 1 cup marshmallows. Baked exactly 10 mins. yes the marshmallows mostly melted but hubby and son said they were awesome! Lots of great variations - thanks!

Excellent! I used 2 TBS. oil, 1 c. coconut & 1c. white chips as well. Oh & 1 tsp. vanilla.

So glad to find this recipe! I used rainbow chip cake mix and chocolate ships. YUM! That's what is great about this recipe, you can use any flavor mix!

I have tried many cake mix cookie recipes. This is my favorite. I find that using the butter makes a chewier cookie.

This is a great recipe! I've used several kinds of cake mix and all turned out great :)

OK for a quick cookie, but the taste isn't all that great. Not a "real" cookie.

I used a chocolate cake mix, followed the recipe adding: 1 t. vanilla,brown sugar, but instead of the oil that some are adding I added a scant 1/4 cup sour cream. Refrigerated dough and baked as directed.

Made this with spice cake mix for the holiday cookie tray and they were one of the first cookies gone!

Incredibly easy, incredibly good....incredibly gone in the blink of an eye.

OK, I have to admit, the first time I made these, they turned out horrible! The package of cake mix that I used was only 16 oz., so the proportions were off, and then I left them in the oven for too long, so they got really hard. I was ready to throw away this recipe, but I decided to give it another try. I used a different cake mix (Dr. Oetker's organic chocolate cake mix), and I substituted coconut oil for some of the butter. (Coconut oil is VERY good for you, and it's also great for baking!) I threw in a mixture of bittersweet chocolate chips and white chocolate chips, as well as 1-2 tsp. of peppermint extract. I baked them for exactly 8 minutes, and they came out perfect. They taste just like thin mints! Oh, and I got a whopping 50 cookies out of this batch!

These are great and really fast & easy....tastes like it's much more effort!

I needed cookies for a church BBQ and so I doubled the recipe and used 1 box of strawberry and 1 box of white cake mix. I used white chocolate chips and some mini dark chocolate chips. I just had one warm out of the oven and it was great! I didn't add any oil or vanilla like some of the reviews recommended but I think they turned out amazing! Only thing is that I'll make them smaller next time, they spread out on my baking sheets a lot. Thank you for this, I'll probably make them more often than I should!

WOW!! I used Pillsbury Moist supreme chocolate devils food. I used the stick of butter 2 TBS. oil and a tsp Vanilla. I formed into a ball about 2 inch, then flattened them out a bit. Added some pecans on top and pressed them in. They remind me of brownies! The taste is AWESOME and the texture perfect! I cooked them at 350 for 8 min, then let them flatten out for a few minutes before putting them on a cooling rack. These are now my FAVORITE cookies. Thank YOU!

Nice and easy cookies.Great activity with the kids. I used mine as cookie sandwiches and followed the information of a previous review and used oil instead of butter. One thing I would say is to sift the cake mix as it is hard to get the lumps out. But other than that...will definatly make this again!!

Very soft and yummy. Using butter makes it wonderful!

The recipe is great just as it is. I used devil's food cake mix with Reese's Peanut Butter chips and it tasted alot like peanut butter cups. I also made it once and added 2T of oil to make brownies. Very good!

This was like a fake cookie, and way too sweet. I generally like cake mix recipes, but not this one. I should have taken the time to make "good" cookies.

I ran out of sugar and wasn't able to make the cookies I wanted to, so I made these to take to my MIL house for Sunday dinner. I am so glad that I ran out of sugar. These were so good! I followed others suggestion and added 1tsp of vanilla and 2 Tbsp of oil. Everyone loved them and commented on how moist they were.

I gave it 5 stars because it's very quick to make and tastes nice and chocolately. I took the leftovers to work two days after I made them and they were on the "firm" side, but I just spritzed some water on them and they were moist and chewy again - magic! I got quite a few compliments on these. Try it!

Super easy. I made smaller cookies and made a cream cheese frosting to go in the middle, kinda like oreos, so good! (keep cold)

I somehow got a cake mix and found this recipe trying to figure how to use it. This is a great recipe for quick easy cookies. Does not have the same greatness as made-from-scratch, but is valuable when in a hurry. I used cherry cake mix with chocolate chips - flavors blended well.

These are perfect as is. I was making a bunch of treats for an activity with teenagers, so I made three batches. I tried adding the oil as suggested to one batch, and they came out more flat and chewy. Good, but when I made it with only the butter, they came out so much better.

I tried this recipe with Duncan Hines Dark Chocolate Cake mix and Andes Mint chips. I added the 2T of oil and 1 t of vanilla as others suggested. My cookies turned out so flat; not at all what I expected. Not sure what I did wrong.

This is a great recipe and super easy. I made these with a red velvet cake & white chocolate chips. Took them to work and they were gone!
