Notes

Cake mix boxes may have changed. This recipe was originally tested using a 15.25-ox box and recently using a 13.25-oz box. Either will work.
You can sprinkle a little more powdered sugar on top of the cookies after baking for extra sweetness.
It’s easier to scoop the cookie dough with a tablespoon or cookie scoop and roll in the powdered sugar to form balls of dough.
Cookies are done when edges are firm to the touch and very light golden brown. Centers may be soft, but will firm up as cookies cool. Do not over bake.
