Main Cake Ingredients:
- 1 box white cake mix
- 2 eggs
- 1/3 cup (79 ml) vegetable oil
Festive Mix-ins:
- 1/2 cup (85 g) red and green M&Ms
- 1/2 cup (85 g) white chocolate chips
Instructions
- Combine cake mix, vegetable oil, and eggs in a spacious mixing bowl, blending thoroughly until a uniform dough forms.
- Gently fold in colorful M&Ms and creamy white chocolate chips, distributing them evenly throughout the mixture.
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C), ensuring proper temperature for optimal baking.
- Using a spoon or cookie scoop, deposit dollops of dough onto an ungreased baking sheet, maintaining approximately 2-inch intervals between each cookie.
- Position the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 8-10 minutes, watching for edges to turn a delicate golden brown.
- Remove cookies from oven and allow them to rest on the baking sheet for 2-3 minutes, enabling them to firm up slightly.
- Transfer cookies to a wire cooling rack, letting them cool completely before serving or storing in an airtight container.
Notes
- Use any cake mix flavor for unique cookie variations, like chocolate, vanilla, or funfetti.
- Chill the dough for 15-20 minutes before baking to prevent excessive spreading and create thicker cookies.
- For gluten-free option, swap regular cake mix with gluten-free cake mix and ensure all add-ins are gluten-free.
- Add festive sprinkles or crushed candy canes during holiday season for extra Christmas cheer and color.
