I have made these cookies several times, and they have been a HUGE hit! I did melt the butter the second time I made them and it seemed to help mix the batter. I used the yellow cake mix the first time but the second time I used the super moist chocolate fudge mix and they were amazing!!

I used the 1/2 a stick of butter like a few people already suggested and I added a splash of vanilla extract; they were fabulous!! I also used a rounded teaspoon instead of tablespoon and it made bite sized cookies, Great for any special occasions!!
