Calories: 78kcal
Ingredients
- 1 box Pillsbury Devil’s Food cake mix
- 2 Eggs Large
- ⅓ cup Oil
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 1 tablespoon Vanilla extract
- 1 cup M&M candies
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, mix together the cake mix powder, oil, eggs, baking powder and vanilla extract.
- Scoop out tablespoons (1-2 tbsp) of the cookie dough and roll them into balls and flatten then slightly.
- Place them on a cookie tray lined with parchment paper.
- Press a few M&M candies on top of each cookie.
- Bake at 350 degrees for about 9 minutes or until they are crispy on the edges. Enjoy!
Notes
- Use Pillsbury Devil’s Food cake mix. It yields the best results and has the best flavor.
- If the cookie dough is too "wet," place the dough in the fridge for an hour and then make balls. I am usually very impatient to wait this long. So, I just wear disposable plastic gloves and make balls. No sticky mess this way!
- Don't over-bake the cookies! They will become hard and dry. It's better to under-bake them (which keeps them very fudgy) rather than over-baking them.
