Equipment
- 2 18x26" cookie sheet pans
- 1 large mixing bowl
- 1 wooden spoon
- 1 spatula
- measuring cups
Ingredients
- 15.25 oz. box Butter Recipe Fudge Cake Mix
- 2 large eggs
- 1/3 cup canola oil (see note below)
- 2 cups M&M candies
- 1/4 cup UNBLEACHED all-purpose flour (If you don't decrease the oil, I recommend adding this so cookies don't flatten out too much)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- In a large mixing bowl, pour cake mix.
- Add flour, eggs and canola oil and stir until combined.
- Stir in M&Ms.
- Grease cookie sheets with cooking spray.
- Roll mixture into balls and place on prepared cookie sheets.
- Bake at 350 degrees for 13-15 minutes or until done.
- Rotate cookie sheets on racks every 6-7 minutes while baking.
- Cool completely.
Notes
NOTE: I kept my hands moist while rolling the cookie dough into balls.
NOTE: I was baking 3 racks at a time. My cookies took about 20 minutes to bake completely.
NOTE: I added 1/4 cup flour to get these cookies to the right consistency. Otherwise, you need to decrease the oil to a scant 1/4 cup.
