How to make Christmas cookies with cake mix

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

Step 1: Add the yellow cake mix, eggs, and oil to a bowl. Mix well to combine.

Step 2: Fold 1 cup of Christmas colored M&M’s in to the cookie batter. Mix it together with a rubber spatula until the Christmas cookie batter is well combined with the M&M’s.

Step 3: Add the cookie batter to a baking sheet and top with additional M&M’s. Bake the cookies at 350 degrees for 10-12 minutes.

Once the cookies are removed from the oven, allow them to rest on the baking pan for 3 minutes before transferring to a wire cooling rack.

These cake mix Christmas cookies were a hit! They stay soft after cooling and the M&M’s make them so festive.

They are seriously yummy and so simple to throw together.

Storing

Leftover Christmas cookies can be stored in an airtight bag or container at room temperature for 3-5 days.
