Tips:

  • Use a cake mix that you like. There are many different flavors of cake mix available, so you can choose one that you know your family and friends will enjoy.
  • Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing will make the cookies tough. Mix the dough 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 in the oven.
  • Bake the cookies until they are just set. The cookies should be slightly golden brown around the edges and the tops should be matte.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before frosting them. This will help the frosting set properly.
