Tips to make cake mix cookies thick and puffy
- Roll your cookie dough on taller side and don’t press them in the center
- Quickly chill them in the freezer till these balls are firm to touch
- Don’t over bake them, even when they appear soft in the center. The cookies will firm up as they cool down.
