Did you know that you can make cookies from cake mix?
This whole idea was new to use, but ever since I’ve been making cookies from cake mix, it’s a whole new cookie ballgame. I specifically keep cake mix on hand for those times when I need to make cookies quickly!
You could of course change up this recipe and use colorful M&Ms instead of Reese’s Pieces. Depending on the colors you choose, they would be perfect for so many other holidays and occasions.
You could use pastel colored M&Ms to make these perfect for a baby shower or you could use red and green M&Ms to make these work for a fun Christmas Cake Mix Cookie. So many possibilities!
