    Frequently asked questions

    I don't have butterscotch chips. What can I use instead?

    You can use any kind of chip you have on hand - chocolate chips, white chocolate chips, etc... Obviously, you will lose the wonderful butterscotch flavor.

    Can I freeze cake mix cookies?

    Yes, after they are baked you can freeze them. When ready to eat, thaw for 15-20 minutes.

    Will cake mix cookies be soft?

    Yes, as long as they are not over baked. I like to take mine out at exactly 10 minutes for soft cookies.
