Ingredients

  • 1 white cake mix
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/3 cup oil
  • Green Gel Food Coloring
  • Christmas M&M

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
  • In a large bowl, mix together 1 box white cake mix, 2 eggs, and 1/3 cup oil until fully combined. The batter will be thick.
  • Add 1 teaspoon green gel food coloring and mix thoroughly until the dough reaches your desired shade of green.
  • Use a cookie scoop to portion the dough and place the cookies on a cookie sheet, leaving about 2 inches between each one.
  • Press the red only m&ms on top of the dough and slightly press down into the dough. I like to use the red M&Ms only but you can use both colors if you prefer.
  • Bake for 8 to 10 minutes until cookies brown SLIGHTLY on the edges.
  • Allow the cookies to set on the cookie sheets for 5 minutes and then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • Enjoy!
