Yes! We added 1/2 cup of Smart Balance (but any butter would work) and 1 egg. We also tossed in some mini chocolate chips because you can never have too much chocolate! They were very good.

We baked them in a 350 oven, for 20 or so minutes. I would start checking them after 10, just to be sure.

Hope this helps!

I tried this idea above this morning to make cookies from the cake mix. They were ok after the first 15 mins. or so, but not great. Too hard now to really enjoy. I cooked the first batch 20 mins. The second batch 15, and the third batch 13 minutes. All are now very hard. I feel like I just wasted the almost $5 for the cake mix and the money for the butter and the egg and the chocolate chips.

Sounds to me like they were baked too long. I'll have to try making cookies out of one of their cake mixes. I know their chocolate chip cookie mix says to bake the cookies 8 to 10 minutes. And at 10 minutes they are crunchy.

Hey, don't throw them out...throw them in the freezer, then later on make a pie crust with the crumbs. Not a waste at all. I made a bad batch of cookies once and picked out all the chips then saved the crumbs for pie crust. Or you could just break up the cookies and sprinkle them on ice cream, pudding, yogurt, cereal....

When in doubt, tollhouse cookies with a flour mix blend turn out great, and super easy to make. I made two batches - one of those, and a sugar cut out cookie with sugar icing, and they were devoured over Christmas. Don't lose heart - sometimes, they DO turnout! :)

I used the Betty Crocker yellow cake mix to make muffins and I noticed they get hard quickly once they cool. So the second time I mixed the batter and threw in a ton of dark chocolate chips (you can use milk chocolate, but the milk gives me a stomach ache) and pecans. They are really only good when they are hot though, so for the next few days I just microwave them for 15 seconds before I eat them. Use lots of chocolate chips so they are gooey (and not hard) when you heat them.

I don't know much about baking, or ways to keep the muffin or cookie from getting hard, but I'd suggest semi-sweet chocolate chips - because they, at least, won't get hard.

This is from a Toll House baking book I have - where nearly all the recipes call for semi-sweet morsels (chips):

"Don't use milk chocolate morsels in baked desserts that do not call for melting the morsels before blending them in. The milk content causes them to become hard when they are baked."

I agree. That's the way I like them however. Light and crispy. I also put lots of pecans in them.

I've really got to hand it to Betty Crocker. They did a great job of giving us a super quality product. I made quite a few batches of gluten-free chocolate chip cookies from scratch last year. It can be tricky. My first batch was one huge cookie. My gluten-free flour blend was complicated, there's a lot of ingredients, the dough tends to need adjusting for moisture, and sometimes you have to refridgerate it first. The Betty Crocker mix worked every time I used it, and it's really simple.

best regards, lm

Actually, I made my chocolate chip cookies only substituting Bob's Red Mill Baking flour(gluten free) I have to buy some xanthum gum, his gluten-free baking flour dosen't have it in it, Pamala's does, though. they turned out very similar to the Regular(wheat) flour. I actually put peanut butter into part of the mixture and it gave it more body and they were also good. :rolleyes:

I would NOT make the chocolate chip mix again. I found them gritty and grainy and lacking a chocolate chip flavor. I prefer Pamela's Brand chocolate chip cookies for the same price.

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      By sleuth · Posted

      He is not just a psychiatrist.  He is also a neuroscientist.  And yes, I have already read those studies.   I agree with benfotiamine.  This is short term while glutened/inflammation occurs.  As I had already mentioned, these symptoms no longer exist when this phase passes.  And yes, I know that celiac is a disease of malnutrition.  We are working with a naturopath.

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      Please do more research before you settle on nicotine. Dr. Paul New house is a psychiatrist.  His latest study involves the effect of nicotine patches on Late Life Depression which has reached no long term conclusions about the benefits.   Effects of open-label transdermal nicotine antidepressant augmentation on affective symptoms and executive function in late-life depression https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39009312/   I'm approaching the subject from the Microbiologist's point of view which shows nicotine blocks Thiamine B1 uptake and usage:   Chronic Nicotine Exposure In Vivo and In Vitro Inhibits Vitamin B1 (Thiamin) Uptake by Pancreatic Acinar Cells https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26633299/   While supplementation with thiamine in the form Benfotiamine can protect from damage done by  nicotine: Benfotiamine attenuates nicotine and uric acid-induced vascular endothelial dysfunction in the rat https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/18951979/   I suggest you study the beneficial effects of Thiamine (Benfotiamine and TTFD) on the body and mental health done by Dr. Derrick Lonsdale and Dr. Chandler Marrs.  Dr. Lonsdale had studied thiamine over fifty years.   Hiding in Plain Sight: Modern Thiamine Deficiency https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8533683/ I suggest you read their book Thiamine Deficiency Disease, Dysautonomia, and High Calorie Malnutrition.     Celiac Disease is a disease of malabsorption causing malnutrition.  Thiamine and benfotiamine: Focus on their therapeutic potential https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10682628/

      By sleuth · Posted

      Thanks for your response.  Everything you mentioned he is and has been doing.  Tobacco is not the same as nicotine.  Nicotine, in the form of a patch, does not cause gastrointestinal irritation.  Smoking does. He is not smoking.  Please do your research before stating false information. Dr. Paul Newhouse has been doing research on nicotine the last 40 years at Vanderbilt University Medical Center.

      Fighting for a name

      Im so frustrated and still getting the run around trying to reprove my celiac disease which my past primary ignored for 25 years.I understand that theres a ray of medical that doctors are limited too but not listening and telling the patient ( me) that im not as sensitive as I think and NOT celiac!Correction Mr white coat its not what I think but for cause and affect and past test that are not sticking in my medical records.I get sick violently with foods consumed, not eating the foods will show Im fabulous. After many blood draws and going through doctors I have the HLA- DQ2 positive which I read in a study that Iran conducted that the severity in celiac is in that gene.Im glutenfree and dealing with related issues which core issue of celiac isn't addressed. My skin, right eye, left leg diagestive issues affected. I have high blood pressure because im in pain.Im waisting my time on trying to reprove that Im celiac which is not a disease I want, but unfortunately have.It  has taken over my life personally and professionally. How do I stop getting medically gaslight and get the help needed to bounce back if I ever do bounce back to normal? I thought I was in good care with " celiac specialist " but in her eyes Im good.Im NOT.Sibo positive, IBS, Chronic Fatigue just to name a few and its all related to what I like to call a ghost disease ( celiac) since doctors don't seem to take it seriously.

      @Martha Mitchell, your reaction to the lens implant with gluten sounds like it could be an allergic reaction rather than a celiac reaction. It is possible for a celiac to be also allergic to gluten as it is a protein component in wheat, barley and rye.
