  It may be a little runny. Then you will just need to add more powdered sugar.

When you prepare the mix for the cookies do you add the 3/4 cup water to the cake mix in addition to the butter and eggs or do you add only the water to the cake mix?

  Add 3/4 cup of water, along with oil and eggs. Make the cake just like the package directs, but for the water add only 3/4 cup. Hope this helps!

Have you tried freezing it by any chance? I wanted to make it ahead of time for a party and was wondering if it could be done.

  They should freeze fine in an airtight container.
