Notes

Note: Step-by-step video shows steps for my Strawberry Cake Mix Cookies variation, so it includes additional ingredients. Follow the recipe card instructions for my base recipe.

Tips:

If your dough seems a little sticky, try adding a bit of all-purpose flour!
If your cookies are spreading too thin in the oven, chill the tray of scooped cookie dough in the fridge for 15 minutes before baking.
If you need to freshen up an older box of cake mix, add 1 teaspoon of fresh baking powder.

Storage: Store cooled cake mix cookies in a resealable bag or airtight container at room temperature, up to 3 days for the softest cookies. Freeze up to 3 months.
