Haven’t eaten them yet. They look pretty, but the batter was incredibly sticky. There was no way to beat at low speed.

I have not had issues with the batter. Did you measure everything because inaccurate measurements can cause an issue with batter.
Brittany Rocha
Batter is ridiculously sticky. Very difficult to transfer onto a cookie sheet.
Eileen Murphy Kelly
Hi Brittany, can you let me know what size box of cake mix did you use? I usually make this recipe often but haven't made them since December using holiday sprinkles. I had a tester make them last week because someone had issues with the cookie also. However, we did not have an issue with sticky batter. I am trying to trouble shoot to see where there is an issue for you and the other baker. Thank you in advance.
