Notes
-
I made 5 large cookies, but you can easily make smaller cookies by using less dough per scoop. Just reduce the baking time slightly.
-
Using a spice cake mix gives the most flavor, but yellow or vanilla cake mix will also work.
-
Add-ins like chocolate chips, white chocolate chunks, or chopped pecans make these cookies extra special.
-
For a bakery-style finish, drizzle with a simple cream cheese glaze once cooled.
-
Cookies will stay soft if stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or refrigerated for up to a week.
-
You can also freeze baked cookies for up to 2 months.
