Tips for Making Cake Mix Cookies

• For a smoother cookie, before adding in the wet ingredients, whisk away the lumps in the cake mix.
• If a chocolate cake mix is too sweet for you, add a few tablespoons of sour cream. It balances the sweetness and makes for a softer cookie.
• Place the cookie dough in the fridge for about 15 minutes to more easily scoop the mixture onto the pan.
• To keep the cookie dough from sticking to the ice cream scoop, dip it into a bit of cocoa powder first.
