My husband got me a recipe book for Christmas that is filled with all kinds of Cake mix Cookies and bars. I have tried several and they are all delicious! I am a soft cookie snob too!!
These are one of my trade-mark cookies, lol....chocolate cake mix makes a darn good cookie!! Try the lemon for a little zing too. The spice mix cake in the fall or near Christmas also works. The good things is you can add in anything; peanut butter chips, chocolate chips, mints, red hots - they all work and people taste them and think you are a genius.
My friend who can't bake to save her life called me on a Friday afternoon askin me to make cookies for her to bring to a bbq the next day. Well I was pissy that she asked me at such a short notice (and I'm sure I was just pissy in general too.....it happens ) anyway, I throw together the mint chocolate chips ones and I'll be damned if they didn't take first prize!
I had no idea they were having a baking contest (it was a military bbq or something - her Hub is a US Marine) so she split the $50 prize with me and I was a happy camper!
okay so I made these today - all i had was a banana supreme cake mix but WOW they were so yummy. i have to try all the other flavors now

Me, too! Love soft cookies . . .
Here's the recipe I've used several times--it's really good w/ a lemon or strawberry cake mix. Just be aware the dough is sticky if you don't chill it a little before working w/ it:
Easy Mix Lemon Crinkles
From: Pillsbury Family Fun Cookbook
1 package Pillsbury Plus Lemon Cake Mix
4 oz container (1 3/4 cups) frozen whipped topping, thawed
3 Tablespoons oil
1 egg, slightly beaten
Sugar or colored sugar
In large bowl, combine cake mix, whipped topping, oil and egg; mix thoroughly. Cover; chill dough 1 hour for easier handling.
Heat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly grease cookie sheets. Shape dough into 1-inch balls; roll in sugar. Place 2 inches apart on prepared cookie sheets. Bake at 350 degrees for 10 to 12 minutes or until light golden brown around edges. Allow cookies to cool 1 minute before removing from cookie sheets. Cool completely. Store cookies in tightly covered container. 3 1/2 dozen cookies.
Note: May use other flavors of cake mix, such as strawberry.
Just something a little different to try--although the chocolate ones sound yummy, too!

I just realized that the chocolate cookies taste just like the cookie outside of an ice cream sandwich.
Time for a road trip to the freezer section, for some ice cream!

I don't DO crispy cookies (she said with total snobbery in her voice!) so I like these because they are soft. Soft cookies are almost a trademark with my cookies.
To me, you dunk a cookie because it's so dang hard that you have to soften it up before you can eat it (Oreo's ... I hate Oreo's and specifically just for this reason ... they are too dang hard to actually eat!). A "good" cookie stands on it's own and doesn't need "doctored up" with milk!
Yes ... I AM a soft-cookie-snob!
Me too!! Me too!!

Time to elaborate -
What's your favorite cake mix cookie combination.
Let's say, you wanted to do an add-in, like chips, extract, etc. Or if you made them into sandwich cookies - what filling do you use?
I'll start - I bought some caramel chips at the store a few days ago, so I am thinking German Chocolate cookies -
basic cake mix cookies, using German chocolate cake mix
1/4 to 1/2 cup caramel chips
1/4 to 1/2 cup coconut - maybe toasted
1/4 to 1/2 cup pecans or almond slivers
What do you think of this combination?
