I tried this recipe last week. I made two different versions with Betty Crooker cake mix. The first batch was the white cake mix with slivered almonds. I used butter in that batch. It was really great, the the cookies have a very nice flavor. The second batch, I was out of butter and used oil with a chocolate fudge mix and added toasted pecans. The cookies are drier and don't have the great flavor. They are still good, but not great. I will wait for some more butter to try some other combonations.
