Tips for Making the Best Funfetti Cake Mix Cookies

- Parchment Paper. If you find your cookies sticking to your tray use a sheet of parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- Don’t overcook. If you overcook your cookies they will dry out and fall apart. Be sure to cook them just until they are set.

Can I freeze cookies once they’re baked?
You can! Just let the cookies cool down all the way and then pop them into the freezer. They’ll freeze for later and you’ll be able to enjoy them sometime again in the near future.
