Cake Mix Cookies

I need to make cookies and I want to use cake mix. What is the best way to do it (which ingredients to leave out if any?) To ensure that cookies are soft and tender?

1 box cake mix (any flavor ANY)
1 stick butter or 4 T
3 eggs, beaten

In a large bowl, melt butter in microwave. Allow to cool slightly before adding eggs. Add cake mix. Mix by hand until well blended. Spoon on cookie sheet sprayed. Bake @ 350 for 14 minutes.
The cake mix coconut is the best I've done so far.

I once had a recipe that called for a box of white cake mix, 3 oz cream cheese, and egg. It was delicious.
