How to Make S'mores Cookies
I used to make my own cake mix, but now I just buy it. My local grocery store doubles coupons, so I can get them pretty cheap.
Otherwise, I just grab a cake mix from Aldi. They have great cake mixes at a great price. I prefer theirs to name brand, but I'll use the name brand to make cookies made with yellow cake mix if they are cheap.
I prefer the Betty Crocker Super Moist cake mixes.
