    Would you add water?? The box says to add water to the mix.

      Hi Aimee ~ no… you will not want to follow the instructions on the box. Those are for making a cake. No water is needed. If making cake mix cookies, just follow the instructions on my recipe. Hope that helps! 🙂

        Yes thank you!!! I accidentally added an additional egg, do you think that’s a problem ?!

          You’re very welcome, Aimee!

          About the extra egg… I’d either start over, or if you haven’t started mixing you can scoop it out if you’re still able to. Hope that helps! 🙂

    With regard to the cake mix cookie recipe, could butter be substituted for oil? Thank you.

      Hi Connie ~ I recommend using oil in this recipe for the best result. 🙂
