Instructions

  • Preheat Oven:
    • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  • Prepare the Dough:
    • In a large mixing bowl, combine the dry cake mix, vegetable oil, vanilla extract, and eggs. Mix until a thick dough forms.
    • Fold in the M&Ms and any desired add-ins like peppermint bark or chocolate chips.
  • Shape the Cookies:
    • Roll the dough into 1-inch balls and place them on an ungreased baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  • Bake:
    • Bake in the preheated oven for 9-11 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers are still soft.
  • Cool:
    • Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 2-3 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • Serve:
    • Enjoy with a glass of milk or share with loved ones during the holiday season

Notes
