These soft and chewy cookies couldn’t be easier to make. Jazz them up with a chocolate kiss in the center, or substitute a different flavor of cake mix. —Angela Bailey, San Pierre, Indiana

i haven't made them yet but i wanted to know, is it 18 ounces or 1/4 ounces for the cake mix?

I was disappointed in these cookies. they were very bland, not much taste to them at all.

I do not know if it was the cake mix I used but these were one of the worst cookies I have ever made 8( The cooking time for me was closer 13 minutes so the first two pans were thrown away. Even my chocolate loving friends were disappointed. Oh yeah, the mess of putting them on cokkie sheets was even worse than the taste and texture. Definitely not a keeper.

Paula Deen made this recipe on one of her shows a while back except after the dough has been formed into balls, she rolls them in powdered sugar. When I make them I also add mini chocolate chips. Who wouldn't want a little extra chocolate surprise in their cookie?

i see people have issues with the stickiness of the batter. There is a step this is missing when you roll the cookie balls out have powdered sugar on your hands first therefore coating the cookie in powdered sugar. i make these all the time and i never even chill them first

I love this recipe. I had no troubles with it after chilling in the fridge overnight. Like another reader, I flattened my cookies before baking and my son added Reeses Pieces to make faces. It was a fun project.

Couldn't be easier, and very tasty! I often make several different flavors using different cake mixes and bring them to parties or potlucks.

These are excellent!! The kids absolutely love these cookies. I added semi-sweet chocolate chips to this recipe and put the dough in the freezer for 1 hour. I also flattened the cookie dough with the palm of my hand before baking. These are simple to make. No fuss at all after putting them in the freezer.
