Ingredients

19.9 ounces box of dry dark chocolate brownie mix unprepared
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon powdered sugar
2 eggs room temperature
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
⅓ cup vegetable oil
1 cup M&Ms divided

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees and prepare a cookie sheet with non-stick cooking spray or parchment paper.
In a large bowl, combine dry brownie mix with flour and powdered sugar.
Add eggs, vanilla extract, and vegetable oil and mix well until the batter is smooth.
Add ¾ cup of M&Ms and combine until well incorporated. Batter will be thick.
Roll 2-inch balls of cookie dough and place them at least 2 inches apart on your cookie sheet. Make sure not the flatten the balls of cookie dough, they will flatten as they bake.
Bake for 8 minutes in your preheated oven, making sure not to overcook the cookies. You want the centers to be baked completely but still soft for the best results.
Remove the cookies from the oven and while still hot, top the cookies with the remaining M&Ms.
Let the cookies sit for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire cooling rack.
Serve warm or at room temperature.

Tips:

These M&M Brownie mix Cookies should be served warm or at room temperature.
You do not have to use the classic M&M name brand candies for these brownie mix cookies. You can use any candy-coated chocolates.
You can use mini M&Ms instead of the full sized candy.
Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before moving them to a wire cooling rack. This will help ensure they don’t break apart when you try to move them.
You can use a cookie scoop to scoop the cookie dough onto the baking sheet. This will ensure that all of the cookies are uniform size and will help them bake evenly.
