Christmas M&M Cake Mix Cookies Recipe

The holidays always require many different cookies for our family. We like to consume and gift them too! I shared my Snowball Cookies with you earlier in the week. Yummo! Sometimes I am looking to throw together a simple cookie that my kiddos can have for dessert in their lunches. Cake mix cookies are always so simple.

During the holiday season, cake mixes are almost always on sale. I usually stock up so that I can whip up quick desserts. Cake mix cookies are always a favorite with my kiddos and are great for adding to our cookie packaged gifts. The chocolate cake mixes make for a chocolaty and gooey type cookie.

I love how simple the ingredient list is for these cookies. You will need a cake mix, eggs, oil, and M&M’s candies. One bowl and in the oven they go! So super simple that I even allow the teens to whip these up when they are anxious for cookies and milk.

1 box Chocolate Cake Mix
2 Eggs
