Instructions
- Mix together the dry cake mix, butter, cream cheese, egg, and vanilla until soft dough forms.
- Stir in the cookie chunks, 1/2 cup M&Ms, and 1/4 cup of the sprinkles gently.
- Refrigerate the dough for 60 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Use a 2-tablespoon cookie scoop to make 24 even dough balls. Press the remaining M&Ms into the tops of the dough balls. If desired, add extra sprinkles to the tops of the dough balls.
- Place the dough balls on a cookie sheet and bake for 10 minutes. Remove the pan from the oven and let the cookies cool on the hot pan for 2 minutes before moving them to a piece of parchment paper on the counter.
- Let the cookies cool completely so they set up, then store them in a tightly sealed container.
