These are delicious cookies and easy to make. I did also make another variation just swapped out yellow cake mix with zero sugar devil’s food cake mix and added 1/2 cup zero sugar reese’s chips. I did need to add a couple of tablespoons of water to the mix but cookies turned out very good as well.
Kids loved these!
