I decided to try these cookies based on the many reviews and well of course how easy they are to make, but to be honest these cookies barley tasted like anything. I followed the recipe exactley and to me they tasted rather bland. Maybe if i try other combinations like others have mentioned they will taste better but as for this recipe I wont be making them again.

Okay, it's not like these need the review, but they are so delicious and soooo Easy to make! I used a butter pecan cake mix and didn't add anything to it. We sprinkled them with powdered sugar and they are wonderful! I don't know if I'll ever make cookies another way again! Yummy! I know Santa will really enjoy these too!

THANK YOU BOTH, LORAC & LINDA!!! I never would have tried a cake-mix cookie on my own, but after reading Lorac's thread about the killer chocolate-orange combo, I had to give it a shot. These were wonderful! I used orange cake mix, and (as I was out of chips) 2 cut-up Ritt milk chocolate bars. Heavenly tasting, wonderfully textured, and not a single person I served them to suspected they came from a box. A real winner, especially considering how easily and quickly they came together! Thank you very much! UPDATE: I've made these yet again. Half a batch the chocolate-orange, and the other half a devil's food with white chocolate chunks & almond bits. Mmm. I even made a few of the cookies yin-yang style and they looked superb and were really just the best of both worlds. Thanks again, you've made some quite happy people here!

I think these would do smashingly as a holiday 'gift' cookie with a little bit of cream cheese icing on top.

I made 2 versions of these cookies. The first was devil's food cake mix with peanut butter chips. Everyone loved them! I also made chocolate fudge with white chocolate chips. The only problem I could see was everyone trying to decide which one to take! These are so easy and very delicious! I took them out of the oven at 8 minutes, to keep them soft. I will try more combinations. A keeper!
