Easy cookies that start with a cake mix! Chocolate M&Ms Cake Mix Cookies take just minutes to put together and they are so chocolatey and delicious.
Happy Memorial Day to all!
Fun plans? Please tell me all about the delicious grilled food you will be eating today! I am still terrified of our grill and since all our friends are either in Afghanistan or have moved, we’re probably just going to stay home and eat ice cream sandwiches.
But today we’re here to talk about cookies!
I’ve been kind of obsessed with cake mix cookies for months now. They’re really great for people like me who decide that they want to have cookies ready for their kid when they get home from their last day of school. With only 20 minutes to spare.
And they’re delicious. Because duh, cake mix.
Ingredients
- Chocolate cake mix – you could use any flavor of cake mix if you want to switch things up.
- Eggs
- Canola oil – vegetable oil will also work.
- Flour
- M&Ms – you could buy the seasonal M&M color and flavors to make these cookies more festive.
How To Make Chocolate M&Ms Cake Mix Cookies
- Make batter. Beat together cake mix, eggs, canola oil, and flour until everything is incorporated. Stir in ¾ of the M&Ms with a rubber spatula.
- Transfer. Drop by heaping tablespoonfuls onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Top. Press remaining M&Ms onto the tops of the dough.
- Bake. Bake at 350F for 10 – 12 minutes or until set.
- Cool. Cool on a wire rack.
How Long Are They Good For?
Cake mix cookies are good for about 5 days after being baked. Make sure to store them in an airtight container at room temperature.
Can You Freeze Them?
You can freeze cake mix cookies for up to 3 months. Let them cool completely and then freeze them in an airtight container, such as a freezer ziploc bag.
When you are ready to serve them, let them defrost at room temperature for several hours.
