These Red Velvet M&M Cake Mix Cookies are soft, chewy, and incredibly easy to make with just a few ingredients! Made with a cake mix, they’re a perfect treat for Valentine’s Day, Christmas, or any occasion when you crave a deliciously simple cookie with a festive touch.
Ingredients (Makes about 20 cookies)
✅ 1 box (15.25 oz) red velvet cake mix
✅ ½ cup vegetable oil
✅ 2 large eggs
✅ 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
✅ ½ cup white chocolate chips (optional)
✅ ¾ cup M&Ms (red, pink, or holiday-themed)
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Dough
1️⃣ Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2️⃣ In a large bowl, mix cake mix, oil, eggs, and vanilla extract until combined. The dough will be thick.
3️⃣ Fold in white chocolate chips and M&Ms.
Step 2: Shape the Cookies
4️⃣ Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, drop dough balls onto the lined baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
5️⃣ Press a few extra M&Ms on top for a prettier presentation.
Step 3: Bake & Cool
6️⃣ Bake for 9-11 minutes, until the edges are set but the centers still look slightly soft.
7️⃣ Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Tips for Success
✔ Don’t overbake! They will firm up as they cool.
✔ Chill the dough for 20 minutes if it’s too sticky to handle.
✔ Switch up the mix-ins! Try dark chocolate chips, nuts, or festive sprinkles.
✔ Store in an airtight container for up to 5 days for soft cookies.
