I could eat these cookies all dang day! The glaze is also very good and I recommend making it. I never thought to use cake mix in a cookie recipe! I was so uncertain as to how these amazing cookies would turn out but they turned out great. You know how they say that if it sounds too good to be true that it probably is? Well, in this case, that saying does not apply. My husband and kids really loved these cookies…like a lot!
Will you be leaving a plateful for Santa?
