These cookies are awesome.I like to use different flavors of cake mix.I sometimes frost them with a powder sugar glaze the same flavor of the cake mix. five stars

Very good & easy to make. I used French Vanilla cake mix. I wanted them to look different from other cookies on my cookie tray so instead of rolling them in powdered sugar, I rolled some in red sugar & some in green. I also flattened them out a little before baking so they had more of a cookie shape as opposed to a ball. They came out very pretty! Thanks. five stars

If youve ever eaten one you would know these are the best cookies in the world! I make them every year and always get rave reviews! I divide the batter in to equal parts and then to one part add red food color and the other I add green then roll them into little balls and roll them in powdered sugar and bake it makes them a little more festive! five stars
