SPICE CAKE MIX COOKIE FAQ’s
YES! That’s one of the best things about this recipe. You can swap out the cake mix but keep the other ingredients the same.
Most cake mix cookie recipes are all for oil. But using butter instead of oil will give your cookies the bakery quality you want.
The ingredients list is very close to the same. The difference is in flavor. With a cookie mix, you can usually only find the basic chocolate chip, peanut butter, and oatmeal. But because a cake mix comes in many different flavors, you are allowed an array of flavor options. Get Creative with your cake mix cookie dough. Combine a piece of strawberry dough with chocolate dough and vanilla dough for a delicious soft Neapolitan cookie!
If you want a thick, fluffy cookie, you’ll need to use butter. Due to oil’s liquid nature, using oil in cookies typically results in a denser texture. Also, because oil is 100% fat, it doesn’t react with flour the way butter does (butter contains water). Because of that, your cookies won’t be as fluffy.
