Ingredients
Cookie Ingredients
- 1 box Funfetti Cake Mix
- 1/3 cup Vegetable Oil
- 2 Eggs
- 2 tbsp Easter-themed Sprinkles
- 1 1/2 cups M & M’s (any kind)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit to prepare for baking the cookies.
- Mix Ingredients: In a medium bowl, combine the Funfetti cake mix, vegetable oil, and eggs until the mixture is smooth and well incorporated.
- Fold in Add-ins: Gently fold in the Easter-themed sprinkles and M & M’s to distribute them evenly throughout the dough.
- Shape Dough: Using your hands, shape the dough into 1-inch balls and place them on a cookie sheet, spacing them about 1 to 2 inches apart to allow for spreading.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 6 to 8 minutes, or until the edges turn slightly golden but the centers remain soft.
- Repeat Baking: Remove the cookie sheet from the oven and continue shaping and baking remaining dough until all cookies are baked.
- Serve and Enjoy: Allow cookies to cool briefly and enjoy your festive Funfetti Easter M & M Cookies!
Notes
- For best results, do not overbake the cookies as they may become too crisp; slight golden edges indicate perfect doneness.
- You can substitute the vegetable oil with canola or melted coconut oil for a different flavor profile.
- Using different themed sprinkles or M & M colors can customize these cookies for other holidays or celebrations.
- Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to avoid breaking.
- Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
