Mickey says
Sounds like an interesting cookie but I don't see how this recipe is getting away from processed food using a box of cake mix...I am no way a health nut but I am a baker and professional cook retired...so many wholesome recipes out there using unprocessed products...everything in moderation is fair...sorry for not agreeing on the cake mix ...just my opinion!!
Jenn says
It isn't completely different than processed food but it has a lot less preservatives and stuff than store bought cookies. 🙂 It's okay, I know that many don't like cake mixes and I don't use them all the time myself. They just make it easier when I want to bake something without making every thing from scratch. 🙂
Beverly says
These look so yummy. I remember making banana split cake but never cookies. Need to try these.

Michelle says
These cookies are so fun! I have a weakness for maraschino cherries. Thanks for sharing with See Ya in the Gumbo.
Cindy Griffin says
Is the coconut oil liquid? I know that this may be a strange question, but I wasn't sure if it's the solid form or the liquid form. Thanks!
Jenn says
It's kind of like the consistency of Crisco, it's not solid, and once it sits out a while, it begins melting!
Leslie says
Please add the butterscotch chips to your recipe.
Jenn says
What a cute idea!
Leslie says
Butterscotch chips are on the list of ingredients but not in the instructions. People like me need step by step instructions!! ? how many cookies does this make? Thank you.
GiGi Billingsley says
If I make a bigger size cookie, will it take longer to back, or is there a reason to make the cookie small?
