Cake Mix M&M Cookies Pros & Cons 

  • There’s no mixer required, so these are easy to whip up without getting the mixer out! 
  • By using cake mix, less ingredients required!
  • We made these jumbo sized!  These bake perfectly if you use a large cookie or ice cream scoop for measuring out the cookies when preparing to bake.  
  • Add whatever add-ins you want, like chocolate chips, Reese cups and m&m’s!
  • Make ice cream sandwiches by adding a scoop of ice cream in the middle and freeze!
  • The only con is, they will disappear in no time!  Better make a double batch!
