If you are not a fan of chocolate cookies, don’t worry. You can pretty much use any flavor cake mix you want! Instead of chocolate cake, you can use a yellow cake or even a lemon cake mix.

Instead of chocolate chips, you can use peanut butter chips, raspberry chips or even some chopped up nuts. The possibilities are endless!
