Step 3 Bake in the preheated oven until cooked through, 6 to 10 minutes. Cool cookies on baking sheet for about 5 minutes; transfer to a sheet of waxed paper to cool completely.

Always stir in nuts, berries, or other additions in the cake mix before adding moisture to make sure the add in stay evenly distributed in the batter. Make what you want they are a great tread for emergency entertainment needs for children or adults.
