Easy cake mix chocolate m&m cookies made with simple ingredients from your pantry. Crispy on the outside but soft on the inside. Great as a snack or gift!
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.
