I had a butter yellow cake mix I needed to use and a small amount of oats taking up space in my pantry. So, I decided to make these oatmeal cookies. They turned out wonderful. I'm going to freeze them for when I need a quick treat for a pot luck or as a sweet snack. They're mighty tasty and I would imagine they'd be good with just a yellow cake or even a white cake mix.Enjoy!
