Salted Caramel Spice Cake Mix Cookies
Soft, chewy and cozy, like a spiced caramel latte in cookie form.
Fancy Monkey Salted Caramel brings a buttery caramel note and keeps the cookies soft and
chewy for days. The warm spices turn a simple box of yellow cake mix into the coziest cookie of
fall.
Why pudding mix in cookies? Instant pudding and dessert mix holds onto moisture in the
dough, so the cookies bake up thick, soft and chewy instead of thin and crisp. Half a pouch is all
you need, so one pouch makes two batches.
