Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 1 box (15.25 oz) red velvet cake mix
- 2 large eggs
- 1/3 cup vegetable oil
- 1 cup M&Ms (red, white, and blue for holidays, or regular)
- 1/2 cup white chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, combine the red velvet cake mix, eggs, and vegetable oil. Mix well until fully incorporated.
- Fold in the M&Ms and white chocolate chips (if using).
- Scoop out tablespoon-sized balls of dough and place them onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.
- Bake for 9-11 minutes, or until the edges are set and the centers are slightly soft. Be careful not to overbake.
- Remove from oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Enjoy! Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to a week.
Notes
- You can use holiday-themed M&Ms to match the occasion (e.g., red and green for Christmas, pastels for Easter).
- For even softer cookies, slightly underbake them and let them firm up as they cool.
- If you want a richer flavor, add a teaspoon of vanilla extract to the dough.
