You may be wondering, is cookie mix the same as cake mix.

Both cake mix and cookie mix to have something in common.
That would be the ingredients that are in them.

However, the amounts of each of these ingredients will usually differ.

Cake mix will have more leavening (baking powder etc.) and eggs.
Cookies will have fat and sometimes more flour.

How to make cake mix cookies.

Step One: prepare.

Preheat your oven to 350. Prep two cookie sheets for nonstick (I use parchment paper).

Step Two: Make the cookies.
Place the dry ingredients from the cake mix in a mixing bowl.
Add the vegetable oil and the eggs to the bowl and mix until just blended.
Fold in the chocolate chips and toffee bits.

Step Three: Bake the cookies.
Use a cookie scoop to place the cookies on to the prepped cookie sheets, leaving a couple of inches between cookies. Bake for seven to nine minutes or until the edges begin to turn golden brown.
Allow the cookie trays to set on a cooling rack for a minute before removing the cookies. The cookies should then finish cooling on a wire rack.
