Ingredients

1 (15.25 ounce) box vanilla cake mix
2 large eggs
½ cup canola or vegetable oil
½ cup Christmas M&Ms red and green
½ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
½ cup mini marshmallows
½ cup crushed pretzels
¼ cup red and green sprinkle mix
additional M&Ms and chocolate chips for topping cookies optional

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper.
Mix the cake mix, eggs, and oil in a large bowl until well combined.
Fold in the M&Ms, chocolate chips, mini marshmallows, crushed pretzels, and sprinkles.
Scoop the cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheets using a large cookie scoop. Leave at least two inches between each cookie, as they will spread while baking. Top the cookies with extra M&Ms and chocolate chips if using.
Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are set. Allow the cookies to cool for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to finish cooling.

Notes

Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to five days.
The cookies can be frozen in an airtight container for up to three months. Thaw the cookies at room temperature before enjoying them.
If using a 13.25-ounce box of cake mix, reduce the oil to 1/3 cup.
Keep marshmallows tucked into the dough to prevent excessive spreading.
