The recipe passed down from her mother....for fucks sake she's simply making cookies from mix...learn to bake
The recipe used the cake mix but for cookies. They know how to bake since they aren't using the box mix as intended but for a mixed ingredient (like bouillon in cooking) that gets them the perfect mix of leaveners and baking powder.

The levener is baking powder and baking soda. Rhese are cheap ingredients a container of each can last years.
Those mixes are easy to replicate. If the mix changing prevents them from making it from scratch they were never a baker. Anymore than making me making a Mac and cheeses makes me a chef because I added some sliced cheddar.
These mixes were created for convenience. They did not create the concepts behind the end product. They are made with magical difficult to source ingredients.
Thank you
Pity there are people in the thread who think we're part of the problem and refuse to acknowledge the solution being offered.
It's fine, they can keep complaining when the argument should be about price gouging
