These Red Velvet M&M Cake Mix Cookies combine the rich, tender crumb of red velvet cake with the colorful crunch of M&Ms, creating a vibrant and delightful treat perfect for any celebration or everyday indulgence. Using a simple cake mix base, these cookies come together quickly and bake to chewy, flavorful perfection.

Ingredients

Scale

Cookie Dough

  • 15.25 ounces Red Velvet Cake Mix
  • 2 large eggs
  • ⅓ cup vegetable oil
  • ¾ cup M&Ms (Valentine-themed recommended)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven and Prepare Baking Sheets: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line two cookie sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats to ensure your cookies don’t stick and bake evenly.
  2. Mix Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the red velvet cake mix, eggs, and vegetable oil. Stir with a spatula until the mixture is fully incorporated and smooth.
  3. Add M&Ms: Pour in the ¾ cup of M&Ms and gently fold them into the cookie dough to distribute them evenly throughout.
  4. Portion Cookies: Use a cookie scoop to drop 12 dough balls onto each prepared baking sheet, spacing them evenly. For an extra pop of color, press a few additional M&Ms into the tops of the dough balls.
  5. Bake: Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers remain soft.
  6. Cool: Remove the baking sheets from the oven and let the cookies cool on the trays for 5 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.

Notes

  • You can substitute other candy-coated chocolates or mix-ins for the M&Ms based on your preference.
  • Do not overbake the cookies to maintain a soft, chewy texture.
  • For festive occasions, choose themed M&Ms to match the event.
  • Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days.
