Equipment
- Large Mixing Bowl
- Spatula
- Baking Sheet
- Parchment Paper
- 1 ½ Tablespoon Cookie Scoop
- Cooling Rack
Ingredients
- 1-15 ounce box white cake mix (432 grams)
- ½ cup vegetable oil
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup M&Ms
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F and prep a cookie tray with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl add box cake mix, oil, eggs and mix by hand with a spatula until well blended (about 30-60 seconds).
- Fold in the M&Ms just until combined.
- Drop balls of dough using a 1 ½ tablespoon cookie scoop, leaving a couple of inches between each ball to make sure they do not touch.
- Bake for about 9 minutes for chewy cookies.
- Cool on the cookie sheet for about 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
- Use a fresh or cooled cookie sheet before starting the next batch so the cookies do not start to spread too soon.
Notes
- Check for Doneness: Ovens vary and these cookies bake quickly, check at 8 minutes. They should look soft, not wet and will firm up as they cool.
- Room Temperature: Let eggs come to room temp so they mix smoothly.
- Don’t Overmix: Stir until just combined for soft, chewy cookies.
- Bake Time: Pull cookies when edges are set but centers look soft, they’ll finish on the sheet.
- Extra Festive Touch: Top with extra M&Ms, sprinkles or candy before baking.
