Cherry Chip Cake Batter Cookies with Red White and Blue Candies

🧂 Ingredients

• 15.25 oz box cherry chip cake mix
• 2 large eggs
• ⅓ c vegetable oil
• ½ tsp vanilla extract

  (or cherry extract)
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 1 tsp red food color
• 2 c red white and blue M&M candies

Instructions

• 1 Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) and line a baking sheet (or
  two) with parchment paper.
• 2 In a large bowl, or the bowl of your stand mixer, combine the cherry chip cake
  mix, eggs, vegetable oil, vanilla extract, baking powder, and red food color,
  and mix until smooth. Add the M&M candies and use a spoon to gently fold them,
  so that they don't break.
• 3 Spoon the cake batter cookie dough onto the parchment paper lined baking
  sheet(s) in heaping teaspoonful amounts, leaving about 2 inches spacing between
  each cookie. Bake at 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) for 8-10 minutes, or until
  the bottoms begin to get golden and the cookies no longer appear raw. The
  coloring will change from a deep reddish pink to a degree lighter when the dough
  is no longer raw.
• 4 Remove from the oven and allow to cool for 2-3 minutes on the baking sheet,
  before transferring to a wire cooling rack to cool completely.
