12-ounces Chocolate frosting

Add cake mix; beat at low speed for about 2 minutes or until mixture is smooth; stir in chopped walnuts. Shape cookie dough into 1-inch balls and place 1-inch apart on cookie sheet sprayed with cooking spray. Bake for 8 minutes, cookies will look under baked, but they are not. Let cookies stand on cookie sheets for 5 minutes; transfer to foil or wire racks to cool completely.

Note: Sometimes to change these up I substitute the vanilla with another extract such as strawberry extract.
