Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider adding a teaspoon of vanilla extract. You can substitute the milk chocolate chips with semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips for a different taste. If you prefer a more chewy cookie, slightly underbake them. This recipe is versatile; feel free to mix in nuts or dried fruit for added texture. Make sure the pan is well greased to prevent sticking.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different type of cake mix?
Absolutely! Any flavor of cake mix will work, such as chocolate or vanilla. Just keep in mind that the flavor will change accordingly. Experimenting with different mixes can lead to fun variations, so feel free to get creative!
What should I do if the cookie mixture is too thick?
