Notes
You can use any flavor of cake mix for this recipe.
We love the look of the white chocolate chips with the red cookies, but dark chocolate chips are delicious here too.
Cake mix sizes fluctuate quite a bit. This recipe should work well with a cake mix size between 13-15 ounces, but the total number of cookies you get may vary a bit.
