  1. I’m confused. In the instructions #3 and #7 you say to bake the cookies. Are we baking these twice? And are we adding the strawberry sauce to the cookie batter, or just spreading it onto them (#6)?

    1. Hi Susan,

      You should be. I am so sorry and thank you for picking up my error. I am not sure how or why I added baking them twice. It is only once. Also, you will be adding in about 2 tables of the sauce to your frosting mix and then spreading on to the cookies.

      I have updated the instructions.

  2. Is there water in this? None listed under ingredients but instructions say to mix in water w cake mix, egg, flour and butter. Please clarify. Am dying to try this.

    1. OH DEAR!!!! Yes, 1/2 of cup of water. I apologize. I see I added a 1/2 of ______. It was blank. Have fun and please let me know how they turn out.
