Notes
This recipe was originally developed using an older, larger box of cake mix. Many cake mixes sold today contain less dry mix, which may result in stickier dough.
Chill the dough for 30 to 60 minutes before shaping. A cookie scoop can make portioning easier. If the chilled dough is still too soft, add all-purpose flour one tablespoon at a time until it becomes scoopable.
