Tips:

  • Use a high-quality cake mix for the best results. A good-quality cake mix will provide a richer, more flavorful cookie.
  • Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing will result in tough, chewy cookies. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Chill the dough before baking. Chilling the dough will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
  • Bake the cookies at the correct temperature. The recipe calls for baking the cookies at 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Baking them at a higher temperature will result in dry, overcooked cookies.
  • Don't overbake the cookies. Overbaking will result in dry, crumbly cookies. Bake the cookies just until they are set around the edges and the tops are no longer shiny.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before storing them. Storing the cookies while they are still warm will cause them to become soft and sticky.
  • Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
