Helpful Tips for Making Easy Cake Mix Cookies
- A mixer is not needed for this recipe. It is best to stir with a spatula or wooden spoon until fully combined.
- Refrigerate the dough for about 15 minutes before spooning it onto a baking sheet. This reduces stickiness.

When using Nonfat yogurt, is this plain? What brand do you use? There are so many with different consistencies. I’m going to try the cherry chip with white chocolate and almond flavor!

I used plain Dannon nonfat yogurt. I hope that helps! That flavor combo sounds amazing. Let me know how they turn out! 🙂
