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).
