Fast track your cookie baking with these chocolate chewies made from (shh!!!!) Betty Crocker’s Super Moist Devil’s Food Cake Mix.
For a gluten free version, there are lots of great choices: Chocolate Cake mix from the Really Great Food Company or Pamela’s Chocolate Cake Mix.
Use this easy recipe as a guide to make any flavor cake mix cookie you like:
*Strawberry  *Red Velvet  *German Chocolate
*Spice Cake  *Lemon  *Carrot Cake
* Butter Golden  *Chocolate Fudge…….
This is a great cookie recipe for beginner bakers or for that last minute dessert.
Follow these simple tips for foolproof cookies:
*Chill cookie dough balls until very cold. This helps powdered sugar “stick” to the dough and keeps cookies from getting too flat.
*Roll each ball twice in powdered sugar before baking. Extra powdered sugar yields lots of pretty crinkles in the cookies.
*Underbake: bake just 8 – 10 minutes, until the tops of cookies are just set. This makes the cookies chewy inside and crunchy outside.
Store cooled cookies covered at room temperature for up to three days.
