Ingredients
15.25ouncedevil's food cake mix(1 box)
⅓cupvegetable oil
2large eggs
1teaspoonvanilla extract
1 ½cupsM&M’s candies
Instructions
In a large bowl, mix well to combine the cake mix, oil, eggs, and vanilla. Fold in about ⅔ of the M&Ms.
Set the bowl in the refrigerator to chill for at least 20 minutes.
After the dough has chilled, preheat the oven to 350°F and line two baking sheets with parchment paper. Shape the dough into 1- 1.5 Tablespoon-sized balls and place 2 inches apart on the baking sheets. Press a few additional M&M's into the top of the cookies.
Bake for 8-10 minutes, until the top of the cookies are set. Do not overbake.
Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a cooling rack to cool further.
Serve warm or at room temperature and enjoy.
Notes
We used Betty Crocker Devil's Food Cake Mix but you can use any flavor cake mix.Do not skip chilling the dough. You can get away with a 20-minute chill but if possible chill your dough longer. I like to let it chill overnight when possible.Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
