Notes

This retro cookie recipe truly is delicious. Kind of a forgotten treat, these certainly are the easiest cookies I have ever made. Use any flavor of cake mix, however I find yellow and chocolate seem to work the best. Mix in any of your favorite extras, a chopped up candy bar, chocolate chips, nuts, dried fruit, sprinkles, or whatever strikes your fancy, or maybe just top them with sanding sugar.
