Very good cookies with a great texture! I agree that pressing them down with a fork before baking is best since they hold their exact shape in the oven and don’t puff or change shape. I added photos to show with and without the fork smashing…

I’ve been making these cookies for years! They are still my go to cookie not only because of how easy they are to make, but also because everyone absolutely loves them!! My kids can help make them too which is wonderful. I use yellow cake mix and milk chocolate chips. Delish

I made these exactly as written and they were not good. I do not understand all the good reviews. I will not make them again.

These were delicious. The only change I made was to add pecans. My family enjoyed these very much and so much easier than my normal made from scratch recipe!

Did them as it was put on the recipe but felt it tasted like cake. lol. Guess it’s cause it IS cake.
William Haynes
What a great idea. The possible variations are endless. I liked them but found they do dry out within a day or so ,but nothing a little nuke won’t fix.
Donald Stevens
EXCELLENT COOKIE ! I used crunchy peanut butter and real butter (softened) instead of margarine and they turned out just fine.

Personally I am a huge fan of cookie dough, and I found this dough disgusting. I was scared the cookies wouldn’t be good, but they were way better than I thought they would be! My family gave them an average rate of 8.5 out of 10. Pretty good!

very easy, used these on Christmas because I was being lazy and I was kind of tired so instead of making the typical Christmas cookies (AND I HAVE A LIST! GENERATION TO GENERATION) and all the trouble that goes with it! I just whipped up a couple of different type of cake mix cookies and bada boom bada bing now they’re the favorite of the whole family!!! (Confusion and disbelief setting in…) unbelievable all these years of wasted time.? Well was Merry Christmas TO ME

I have never been a huge fan of cake mix cookies, but these are fantastic. I was very shorty on butter in the house ( had exactly a 1/4 cup ) so I saw this and tried it VERY GOOD. Will make again
Stephanie Simmons
Very good, loved it.
Jennifer Klein
This is a quick and easy cookie recipe. I used 1/2 peanut butter and 1/2 cup Nutella and 1 cup chocolate chips and 1 cup red and green M&M’s so I could use them for a Christmas cookie exchange. Great recipe! Will make these again!
Gabriella Sanders
So super easy! These cookies are rated at 5 stars, should be a 10. I used sugar free yellow cake mix and tasted great.

When I bake cakes I generally swap applesauce for half of the oil and egg, adjusting water as needed. I eat a lot of cake and besides being slightly healthier it’s way cheaper than trying to keep eggs and oil stocked! So did the same for this recipe. Cookies turned out fine but had to cook for close to 20 mins because I wasn’t getting the color on top, might bump to 375 next time around. So if you’re keeping track, I used: 1/4 cup peanut butter 1/4 cup butter 1 large egg and 1 cup homemade applesauce (no water needed since homemade.)
