Cake Batter Snickerdoodles

Last week I was making some Snickerdoodles. In the middle of making them I remembered about all the cake batter cookies I've seen. Since I'd already started making them, I just added in some cake mix and pudding mix. They turned out to be the most delicious cookies I have had in a long time. I could NOT stop eating the dough or the cookies. The cookies were crisp on the outside and chewy in the middle. Perfection!
