Frequently Asked Questions:
Can you use a different cake mix?
Yes. Any cake mix will work, as long as it is meant to bake a 9×13″ cake.
Can you use vegetable or coconut oil?
Yes. Either should work. Make sure to melt the coconut oil to a liquid state before mixing.
Can you add chocolate chips?
Yes! Chocolate chips would be a great addition.
I add milk chocolate chips. The easiest and best cookie ever!
I have made these cookies three times and they disappear very quickly, that’s because they are very delicious. I dipped them in chocolate and also drizzled the tops with chocolate that totally took them over the top. So yummy.
Easy to make and taste wonderful 😊
These are fantastic!
These are very simple and so good when you need a homemade cookie. My cake mix was only 13.22 ounces, like everything else they are getting smaller. I added about another 1/4 cup of flour, as it was too much like cake batter. They still came out great!
This recipe is a favorite for my family.
These are so quick and easy and even better, they taste soooo good. I always get requests to make them. Honestly my husband and I have a hard time sharing. Thank you for this recipe.
These cookies are the bomb!! EVERYONE wants the recipe.
I had to try this one since I love using Butter Pecan Cake mix to make Banana Bread. These cookies turned out AMAZING!! I did add milk chocolate chips and small pretzel pieces. This is my new favorite cookie. Thanks for sharing the recipe.
Super yummy!!
Why do the eggs have to be room temperature?
