Instructions
- Add the cake mix, vegetable oil, and eggs to a large mixing bowl. Using an electric hand mixer, mix on low speed until combined. Stir in the M&Ms.
- Chill dough for 30 minutes in fridge (or longer) or 15-20 in freezer. I recommend this step since the dough is sticky and you will also get slightly puffier cookies with chilling, but you don't have to chill them.
- Meanwhile, preheat your oven to 350F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a Silpat non-stick mat.
- Make 2" balls and place them on the baking sheet at least 2" apart, if not more since they do spread. Bake for 11-13 minutes until they're set.
- Let them cool for a few minutes on the baking sheet, then transfer cookies to a cooling rack. Once the cookies have cooled, be sure to store them in an airtight container to keep them soft.
Notes
- I made fairly large cookies (rolled dough into 2" balls), so if you make them smaller, you can definitely make more than the dozen or so that the recipe suggests.
- You can use the larger-sized boxes of cake mix (18.25 ounces) as well - it'll make about 16 2" cookies (keep everything else in the recipe the same). The batter will be less sticky and the cookies will be more puffy - especially if you chill the dough.
