    Recipe Tips & Variations

    • Can use any kind of box cake mix to make the cookies. Chocolate, vanilla, funfetti, lemon and strawberry are some of my favorites.
    • Allow the cookies to cool for about 10 minutes before consuming so they don’t fall apart of burn you.
    • Get creative and add whatever mix ins you want in the cookies such as sprinkles, chopped candy bars, chocolate chips and more.
    • Not all cake mix boxes are the same size and range from 15 oz – 18 oz. No need to alter the ingredients as they will all work the same with any of those sizes.
    • Store any remaining leftovers up to a few days in an airtight container at room temperature.
