For a richer chocolate flavor, consider adding a teaspoon of espresso powder to the cookie dough. Ensure the shortening is at room temperature for a smoother filling. If the dough is too sticky, add a little more cake mix, one tablespoon at a time, until it reaches the desired consistency. Store the finished cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
