    My cookies turned out very thin. Not thick. Why?

      Hi Barb! The answer could be the size of the dough balls – the larger the balls are, the thicker the cookies become. I’ve had this same issue with cake mix cookies in the past, and making slightly larger dough balls fixed it. I hope this helps! 🙂

    Could butter be substituted instead of oil? If so, do you know the amount?

    This is an EXCELLENT recipe! My dad is a sugar cookie connoisseur, and he loves these! I have actually tried many flavors of the “Moist” boxed cakes, and they all turn out great except the chocolate is a bit drier. I have also used other brands with great results—just make sure that it is a box mix of the same number of ounces as the original recipe.

    It would be more helpful if the recipe included the size of the rolled dough. It’s a guess from the instructions above.

    I made Iced Coconut Sugar Cookies using Duncan Hines Coconut Supreme Cake Mix. I put a thin layer of icing on the cookies & added holiday colored sprinkles to give ordinary round cookies a festive appearance. I prefer crispy cookies over soft so I increased the baking time. I also adjusted the oil to a 1/4 cup instead of 1/2 cup. This recipe yielded 38 cookies. WARNING: If you are looking for a “sweet” fix…you’ll stop at having just one! (I did.)

    Do you think you could you any white cake mix or does it need to be the “extra moist” recipe

      Hi Elisha, using the Super Moist Cake Mix makes the cookies much softer. But if you try another cake mix, let me know how it goes!

    Do you think if they aren’t rolled in sugar they would turn out good still? I was thinking of adding chocolate chips to the cake mix instead of sugar.
