I'm thinking these would make some amazing cookies for Operation Baking Gals, Round 5. What do you think? Would you make these lovely gems and send them to those fighting for our freedom?

Whoa those look awesome!!
These cookies are amazing!! My husband is in the military and currently deployed. These are his favorite treat to receive in his care packages. They stay soft forever so when he gets them they are still ooey and gooey!!
Do you add the ingredients to of the cake mix as well?
You just mix the powdered cake mix in with the other listed ingredients. Don't add any ingredients from the cake mix directions. :) Happy baking!
I love this recipe! Its quick, easy, and delicious! You can vary the cake mixes by using chocolate, spice, lemon, any flavor and for a fun twist I like combining 2 cake mixes (chocolate and coconut; orange and vanilla; strawberry and banana)! All you need to do is double the other ingrediants and wow! With all the different flavors of cake mixes, this recipe can go a long way!
I love these cookies. I use the butter cake mix and it is delightful.
Okay, I'm really confused, do you not add the powedered sugar into your cookie batter? Or do you just simply roll it in? So confused...
Just roll it in it.
I use a cookie scoop to make the balls ,,then roll them in the powder sugar
