Notes

Make sure you have a 15 1/4 oz. box of cake mix. Some cake mix boxes are smaller and will not work well for this recipe.
You can make your cookies larger or smaller than what the recipe calls for; just adjust the bake time accordingly.
Use a cookie scoop or measuring spoon to make all of your balls of dough the same size.
