Notes

What is the Yield?

We used about 2 Tablespoons of dough per cookie and ended up with a baker's dozen (13 cookies). Because they are big cookies, we baked in batches of 5 cookies per tray.

Why do you let the batter sit before baking?

After mixing the cookie dough, let it sit in the mixing bowl for about 5 minutes before scooping and baking. This allows the cake mix to absorb moisture, so when the cookies bake they are not gooey in the middle. It also gives the gluten a chance to "relax," which keeps the cookies from being too tough or flattening while baking. This step makes a difference, so don't skip it!
