How to make white cake mix cookies
Step 1: Mix the batter. Combine the eggs, oil, and cake mix in a mixing bowl.
Step 2: Fold in the M&M’s into the cookie dough using a rubber spatula.
Step 3: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup. Drop the batter by spoonfuls onto the baking sheet, or use a mini cookie scoop to portion out the cookie dough. Top with additional M&M’s.
Step 4: Bake the cake mix cookies at 350 degrees for 11-13 minutes. Watch carefully to avoid burning. Remove from the oven when the edges are set. Remove the cookies onto a wire cooling rack to cool completely.
