Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 box (15.25 ounces) yellow cake mix
- 1 package (3.4 ounces) instant vanilla pudding mix
Wet Ingredients
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Add-ins
- 1 cup white chocolate chips
- 1 cup M&M candies
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare Baking Sheets: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper to prevent sticking and promote even baking.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the yellow cake mix and instant vanilla pudding mix thoroughly to ensure a consistent flavor and texture throughout the dough.
- Add Wet Ingredients and Mix: Add the eggs, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract to the dry mixture. Mix until a smooth, cohesive dough forms, ensuring all ingredients are well incorporated.
- Fold in Chips and Candies: Gently fold in the white chocolate chips and M&M candies, reserving a few M&Ms to press on top of the cookies before baking for a vibrant look.
- Portion Dough: Use a cookie scoop or tablespoon to drop rounded portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them approximately 2 inches apart to allow spreading.
- Top with Extra M&Ms: Press a few reserved M&M candies on top of each cookie dough ball for added color and appeal.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the edges turn lightly golden. Be careful not to overbake to keep the cookies soft.
- Cool: Allow the cookies to rest on the baking sheets for 5 minutes after removing from the oven, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.
Notes
- For extra soft cookies, avoid overbaking as they will continue to firm up as they cool.
- You can substitute milk chocolate or peanut butter M&Ms for a different flavor profile.
- Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days to maintain freshness.
