Tips & Substitutions
For a fun twist, try using different flavored cake mixes like red velvet or lemon to create unique cookies. Adding chocolate chips, nuts, or dried fruit can enhance the flavor and texture. If you prefer, substitute the oil with unsweetened applesauce for a lower-fat option. Ensure not to overbake; cookies should remain soft in the center after cooling. For extra flavor, consider a pinch of vanilla extract.
