Ingredients
- ½ cup (113g) unsalted butter melted or softened
- 1 15.25 ounce box yellow cake mix
- 2 large eggs
- 1 ½ cups M&Ms
Instructions
- If using softened butter, you’ll need a hand or a stand mixer. If using melted butter, you can use a mixer or do the following by hand.
- Place butter, cake mix, and eggs in a large bowl. Stir or mix until combined and no lumps remain. Stir in M&Ms.
- Scoop 2-tablespoon balls of cookie dough onto a cookie sheet lined with parchment or silicone baking mats. No need to space them; we are chilling the dough. Chill for at least 30 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a second cookie sheet with parchment or silicone baking mat.
- Space cookies 2-inches apart on cookie sheets. Bake for 10-13 minutes, or until they just lose their glossy sheen. These cookies stay puffy and will settle a bit as they cool but don’t become flat.
- Immediately after removing from the oven press a few more M&Ms on top for decoration. Cool at least 10 minutes before removing from the cookie sheet.
- Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 2 months.

Notes
- Use any brand or flavor cake mix that is approximately 15-16 ounces in size.
- You can do this same recipe using sugar-free cake mix as long as it’s around the same size box.
- Betty Crocker makes puffier cookies and Duncan Hines cookies will be flatter.
