- Storage Tips: After baked, these Milky Way cookies will last well at room temperature, simply stored covered in an airtight container, for up to 3 days.
- Butter: When it comes to Cake Mix Cookies, salted or unsalted butter can be used, as the cake mix will have a little salt in it. However, I've found that salted butter will result in superior flavor.
