    There may be a mistake in this recipie - if made exactly to instructions it didn't form a dough - I added 3/4 cup water and they came out great!! The kids loved them! Will make these again

    They were far from terrible butI thought they were too dry & crumbly - others liked them. I probably won't try them again.

    YUMMY! We are a sweet eating family and they loved these cookies! This recipe is so easy that I made over a hundred cookies for my class and people were fighting over them! These cookies are so buttery. Instead of plain yellow cake mix I used the golden butter cake mix. You will ENJOY!

    I made these cookies for a cookie exchange and I thought they were terrible. I followed this recipe to "the tee." I even used the Rolos. First of all they take longer to make than 15 minutes. Second if you try to cook them for 15 minutes they will burn for sure. Third they come - Read more ...

    This recipe did not work out at all. It is unclear whether you are supposed to make the cake mix and then put it in with the mixture or if you just add the mix without the other ingredients. It did not work out at all.
