Ingredients
Scale
- 1 box (15.25 oz/432 g) vanilla or white cake mix
- 2 large eggs
- ⅓ cup (80 ml) vegetable oil
- ½ cup (75 g) Valentines M&Ms or chocolate candies
- ½ cup (75 g) Valentines Day-themed sprinkles
- 1 tsp vanilla extract (optional)
Instructions
- Preparation: Preheat oven to 350F (175C) and line baking trays with parchment paper or silicone mats for effortless cookie release.
- Mixing: Combine cake mix, eggs, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract in a large mixing bowl. Whisk until smooth, then fold in sprinkles and M&Ms, ensuring even distribution throughout the dough.
- Shaping: Using a tablespoon, scoop dough and form into rounded balls. Place on prepared baking sheets with ample spacing, gently pressing each cookie to create a slightly flattened shape.
- Baking: Slide trays into preheated oven and bake for 9-11 minutes. Look for golden edges while maintaining soft centers, being careful not to overcook.
- Cooling and Serving: Let cookies rest on baking sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer to wire racks for complete cooling. Serve immediately or package in festive containers for a delightful Valentine’s treat.
Notes
- Choose Fresh Ingredients: Use room temperature eggs and fresh cake mix for optimal texture and flavor consistency.
- Customize Sprinkle Mix: Select Valentine-themed sprinkles or color-coordinate M&Ms to match romantic aesthetic and personalize cookie appearance.
- Control Cookie Size: Use consistent tablespoon measurement to ensure uniform baking and equal cooking times across all cookies.
- Prevent Overcrowding: Space cookie dough balls at least 2 inches apart on baking sheet to allow proper spreading and prevent merging during baking.
