These simple oatmeal raisin spice cake mix cookies are easy to make and loaded with flavor. The recipe begins with a boxy of spice cake mix, and I’m sure that these will become one of your regular cookie choices when it’s time to bake. They are fast becoming a favorite around our house.
The cookie dough for this recipe is thicker than the usual cake mix cookie dough because of the addition of the oats to the mixture. As a result, they tend to stay fuller which gives you a finished cookie that is smaller in circumference and thicker. If you want a more uniform, flat cookie, simply press gently down on the cookies prior to baking like when you make the flourless peanut butter cookies.
These cookies are a great addition to a cookie platter or as an accompaniment to milk or tea.
