I have been making these for several years at Christmas, I too accidently mixed the sugar into the mix and I always add white chocolate chips. I would be in big trouble if I did not make these every year for my children, they love them!

We made these just as the recipe states the first time. They came out perfect just like the picture shows, So then we tried them using a lemon cake mix,and lemon extract instead of vanilla. Excellent again. They got rave reviews at my daughter's open house, From that I got a request to make these for a fundraiser. They wanted something to match a Hawaiian theme. So I tried these using a vanilla cake mix and 1 teaspoon of coconut extract and 1 teaspoon of almond extract. Then I rolled each cookie ball in shredded coconut and baked as usual. These were also so good. I don't think you can go wrong with this recipe. In my opinion, any of flavor of cake mix would be great. And so easy. Minimal measuring and mixing, and you've got fresh cookies in no time.

Just took my last batch out of the oven & tasted a cooled cookie. It was very good. I rolled them in powdered sugar instead of granulated & they looked like 3 leaf clovers, not like the picture. I was thinking maybe it was the powdered sugar. Also, my batter was not oily at all, I did refrigerate the dough over night so maybe that made the difference. The cookie tasted like the chocolate crinkle cookies I grew up with. The variations of this recipe are endless with a little imagination. I'm going to try white or yellow cake rolled in cinnamon sugar next. Thank you for an easy, delicious recipe for cookies!!!

Had to make something for a church snack and these were perfect. Made 3 different kinds because I had a lot of cake mixes lying around. Had to alter the recipe slightly for a few. 1) Lemon cake mix - used powdered sugar instead of granule. Out of the three I made, these were the best! 2) Butter fudge cake mix - too goopy, had to add flour (1/4 - 1/2c) just so I make the dough into balls. When I baked them using the granule sugar, the sugar got that burnt flavor so the rest I made rolled in powdered sugar and they were delicious! 3) Carrot cake - came out as potent as a ginger snap. Very heavily spiced. Rolled in regular sugar. Probably won't make again.
