Took advice from above and used a devils food cake mix and put a mini peppermint patty in the middle. Only made two dozen so bake time was almost twenty minutes and they were fabulous. Will make again for sure. Thanks for the tip. Great recipe and very easy !!

My sister just gave me a similar recipe tonight. 1 cake mix, one stick of butter (room temp) and 2 eggs (room temp). Amazingly simple and delightful! I even tried carrot cake and white chips! Getting ready for a bake sale to raise money for our troops!!

These were WONDERFUL! I took strawberry cake mix and added in chocolate chips and then when they were done I drizzled milk chocolate on top... tastes like chocolate covered strawberries.. oh and I used 1/2 cup of water... but so quick and so easy!

I used a white cake mix and added chopped maraschino cherries, about 1/2 cup coconut and 1 teaspoon almond extract. Excellent and soft!

I got this recipe from a friend a few years back using yellow cake mix with the red and white andes mints at Christmas. They go sooo fast. I do choc chip for non-mint folks. Yep there are a few out there. Just stand back from the oven because that mint will get you coming out! I came on here because I couldn't remember if she to to get the butter recipe mix or to NOT get it but since there or no comments against it and it is what is in the pantry I am going for it. Going to try new ideas too. And carrot cake mix too! Dippied in almond bark! Mmmm.

The cookies are almost ready! I have used this recipe before and they are delicious!

I used a Devils Food chocolate cake and then added peanut butter/choc. chips. Makes very good cookies!

I made this years ago with spice cake mix.I put cream cheese icing on the tops.I've also made this with orange cake mix with the same cream cheese icing but with the zest of two oranges.

We made these with a Spice Cake Mix and added pecans, shredded coconut, and toffee bits. Decadent!

my mom used to make these all the time because they are so cheap and easy. I made these today with German chocolate cake, then took the coconut pecan frosting and put on top of one cookie and put another cookie on top -- German chocolate cookie sandwich!

I used a cake mix past the expiration date (14 months !!) - so added 1 tsp. new baking powder in case they were too old. Cookies were great. Does anyone know if I really needed to add the baking powder. Appreciate all the great variation ideas.

Carrot cake mix with B.C. Cream cheese frosting - yummy - next time i'll put white chocolate chips - they were a little flat...

I just made these cookies and they turned out great! I used a french vanilla cake and lemon frosting. I have been looking for a great cookie recipe and I finally found it!

My Mom and I used to make these 35-40 years ago, and I have been looking for this recipe. Thanks so much for posting it. My favorite is just chocolate cake mix with a little 10X sugar after baking!

I wish I knew what was wrong. I made these with a Betty Crocker Devil's Food Cake mix and the Andes Mint Chocolate Baking Chips. Used a small melon baller to size cookies. Two batches came out burned on bottom, although I used parchment paper on cookie sheets. I lowered the oven temp and checked them early, but the next batch (two sheets' worth) was even WORSE, burned all over the bottom and turned hard as rocks within an hour so that the kids couldn't even test them when they got home. I suspect the Andes baking chips melt at a lower temp than the dough, so maybe that is what's burning and running out? Or is my oven way out of calibration and too hot? Sigh!!
