    I made these today with vanilla cake mix, sprinkles, and chocolate chips. So good and easy. I’m not a great baker, but am learning. I added the extra flour since we are over 6,000 feet. Thank you so much! These are nice for a quick cookie fix, and with 3 kids 5 and under a quick dessert. I’ll be looking for sales on cake mix now :-)

      Yes you do have your hands full with 3 under 5 Eleiie. :) And you need to keep a large supply of cookies on hand too. : ) Keep on baking because most of us started out beginners and the more you do it the easier it gets and better. Part of the reason we wrote Dining on a Dime was when Tawra and my daughter in law were first married they didn’t hardly know how to boil water so we saw a need for a basic cooking cookbook because so many didn’t know the basics so keep it up – you sound like you are doing great so far.

    the cake mix recipe i am using calls for 2 eggs and 1 stick of butter = 1/2 cup looking for high altitude conversion as first time i made them was west coast altitude and they were perfect, this time at 2500 ft they were flat

      Terri you might reread this recipe because it does have instructions on it for high altitude. A couple of other things is you can add a couple of Tablespoons of flour, and be sure not to use butter but use margarine because butter will make some cookie recipes spread and flatten really bad. But reread this recipe because it does have the high altitude on it.
