Calories: 78kcal
Ingredients
- 1 box Devil’s Food cake mix 15.25 oz. box
- 2 Eggs Large, Room temperature
- 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 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 F for about 9 minutes or until they are crispy along the edges. Enjoy!
Notes
- Eggs must be at room temperature because they blend together the best this way.
- Make sure to line your baking tray with parchment paper to prevent cookies from sticking to the pan.
- 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.
- I used regular sized m&m candies buy you can use mini size too.
- 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.
- Read additional tips and variations above.
- Leftovers can be stored in a cookie jar or sealed container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
