Prep Time: 15 mins
Cook Time: 10 mins
Total Time: 25 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 24 cookies

Ingredients

  1. 1 box chocolate cake mix
  2. 2 large eggs
  3. 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  4. 1 cup chocolate chips
  5. 1 cup M&M's

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it is hot and ready for baking the cookies.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the chocolate cake mix, eggs, and vegetable oil. Use a hand mixer or a whisk to blend the ingredients together until they are well combined and form a thick batter.
  3. Once the batter is smooth, gently fold in the chocolate chips and M&M's using a spatula or wooden spoon. Make sure they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
  4. Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to prevent the cookies from sticking.
  5. Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading during baking.
  6. Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake the cookies for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers are still soft. Be careful not to overbake, as they will continue to firm up as they cool.
  7. Once baked, remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  8. Enjoy your delicious Cake Mix Monster Cookies with a glass of milk or your favorite beverage!

Tips

  1. Room Temperature Ingredients: Ensure your eggs are at room temperature for better mixing and a smoother batter.
  2. Don't Overmix: Mix the batter just until ingredients are combined to keep the cookies tender.
  3. Consistent Size Matters: Use a cookie scoop for uniform cookies that bake evenly.
  4. Cool Before Storing: Let cookies cool completely before storing to prevent becoming soggy.
  5. Storage Hack: Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
  6. Customize Your Monsters: Swap out M&M's for different colors or add nuts for extra crunch.
  7. Prevent Spreading: If dough seems too soft, chill for 15-20 minutes before baking.
  8. Check Early: Ovens vary, so start checking cookies at 8 minutes to prevent overbaking.
