I just made these last night. I used Classic White cake mix, and added 1 cup of butterscotch chips, 1 cup of dried cranberries, and a pinch of cinnamon. I brought them to the office today, and have gotten rave reviews! I think I may also try them with apple chunks (instead of cranberries) for the fall!

I have done the chocolate ones and wrapped the dough around a rollo candy. It makes a marvelous caramel filled cookie.
