Preheat oven to 350°F and prepare a cookie sheet with parchment paper or a non-stick silicone baking mat.
TIP: We love these silicone baking mats in the kitchen because they are non-stick (no spray needed), plus washable and reusable!
In a large mixing bowl, combine dry cake mix, oil and eggs. Stir together until you have a smooth, thick batter.
Scoop dough balls onto your prepared cookie sheet – about the size of a ping-pong ball.
TIP: A small ice cream or cookie scoop makes it easy to achieve uniformly sized cookies. Plus it’s super fun for the kids!
Add 5-6 M&Ms to the top of each cookie, gently pressing the candy into the dough. (You don’t need to flatten the cookies).
Bake for 8-12 minutes at 350°F or until the tops of the cookies are a light golden brown.
Remove from oven and allow to cool.
To store, keep in an airtight container for up to a week.
