Did You Know? 

You can bake cookies with any flavor of cake mix. The ratio is 1 boxed cake mix + ½ cup vegetable oil + 2 eggs.

Not all cake mixes are suitable for making cookies. Avoid mixes that have added pudding or filling.

When baking cookies using a cake mix, try adding extra ingredients like chocolate chips, nuts, or dried fruit.

For best results, chill the dough before baking. Chilling helps the cookies hold their shape while baking, preventing excessive spreading.

To prevent sticking, use parchment paper on the baking sheet. This will make it easier to remove the cookies as well.

Lastly, it is important to note that all ovens bake differently. Therefore, you should closely monitor the cookies while they are baking. Keep an eye on them, as they might be done quicker or require an additional minute or two.

Place baked cookies in a single layer on a baking sheet to flash freeze for 30-60 minutes.

Then transfer to a freezer bag or air-tight container with parchment or wax paper in between each layer to keep them from sticking. Stored properly, they'll keep for up to 3 months.

Remove the cookies from the freezer and place them on a plate or baking sheet, making sure they're not touching. Let them sit at room temperature for 1-2 hours, or until completely thawed.

Or you can allow them to defrost in the refrigerator overnight.
