M&M Cake Mix Cookies Recipe

I have been making this M&M Cake Mix Cookies Recipe since 2014. I make these all year round but for some reason, these always end up being a favorite Christmas holiday cookie for the kid. Once we can find the green and red M&Ms, we make them, generally on November 1 if you have never tried to hunt down the holiday bags.

These  M&M Cake Mix Cookies are also fun to take to holiday get-togethers, easy to make, and put on a fun dish or in a container. M&M Cake Mix Cookies are a huge hit in my house!!!  Now other favorite cookies -> Funfetti Cake Batter cookies!!  I always have a stash of cake mixes from coupon sales, and we stock up on M&Ms with the after-holiday clearance sales!

M&M Cake Mix Cookies Recipe Ingredients:

• White Cake Mix– You can use a different variety, but the white will show the M&M color best. A chocolate cake mix would be a tasty combination.
• Baking Powder
• Eggs
• Vegetable oil
• Vanilla
• Plain M&Ms– You could use a different variety of M&Ms; if doing M&Ms like peanuts where they are larger, you will want to use fewer M&Ms.

How To Make M&M Cake Mix Cookies:

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.

Mix all of the ingredients except for M&Ms.

After all the other ingredients are well mixed, slowly add in the M&Ms. You can use fewer M&Ms, but we like cookies with lots of candy.

Scoop dough into balls and place on a cookie sheet. I use a cookie scoop to do it (You can get one -> here) to make the cookie shapes and to keep them uniform.

Bake for about 8-10 minutes

Allow to cool on a wire rack before storing; the chocolate will hold the heat, so be sure to cool properly! I have about ten different wire racks, and when I go on a baking frenzy, it’s convenient to have many of them!

How To Store Cake Mix M&M Cookies
