What is the difference between Cake Mix and Cookie Mix?

Cake mix is much lighter and thinner than cookie mix. By using a cake mix for these cookies, you will have soft and chewy cookies with a cake-like texture more than a cookie.

Can you freeze cookies made from Cake Mix?

Yes! Absolutely. Just whip up your batter and then create cookie dough balls to put in the freezer in an air-tight storage container.

I like to use food saver bags to get all of the air out of my cookie dough that I freeze. 

Once ready to use, just place the cookie dough balls on a baking sheet and bake according to the directions – so easy!
