M&M Chocolate Cake Mix Cookies
One of the really great things about cake-mix cookies is the variety. The simple secret – combining cake mix with oil, eggs, and butter to make a cookie dough – works with any kind of cake mix, and you can add anything you want to that basic mix. So there are literally hundreds of different combinations you can try.
So once you know the trick to making cake-mix cookies, your brain starts to come up with more and more new and exciting combinations. Like, for example, this double-chocolate bombshell:M&M Chocolate Cake Mix Cookies.
You start with a chocolate cake mix, so you’ve already got a chocolatey cookie right out of the box. But by stirring mini M&M pieces into your batter, you take them from chocolate to super chocolate. When you bite into one, first you get the basic chocolate flavor…and then the little M&M’s pop open and melt right in your mouth, spilling molten chocolate yumminess on top of that.
M&M Chocolate Cake Mix Cookies…because you can’t spell “Mmmmm!” without M&Ms.
