Course: Dessert
Cuisine: American
Servings: 3 dozen
Author: The Frugal Girls

Ingredients

  • 15.25 ounces Betty Crocker Chocolate Fudge Cake Mix {1 box}
  • 1 1/4 cup M&M's
  • 3/4 cup Sweetened Flaked Coconut
  • ½ cup Melted Butter, or Canola Oil, or Vegetable Oil
  • 2 Large Eggs

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Combine cake mix, eggs, and oil in large mixing bowl, and beat well.
  • Stir in 3/4 of M&M's to batter, and set 1/2 cup aside for later.
  • Then stir in 1/2 cup of Coconut to batter, and set 1/4 cup aside for later.
  • Chill dough in refrigerator for 1 hour.
  • After dough has chilled, form cookie dough into balls, and add a few additional M&M's and Coconut flakes {that you had set aside} onto the top of each dough ball. This will make for prettier, more colorful finished cookies.
  • Bake on ungreased non-stick cookie sheet for approx. 7 – 9 minutes, or until done. ENJOY!

Notes

*You can usually find Coconut M&M's at your local Walmart or at Walmart.com.
If you are unable to find Coconut M&M's, you can substitute Coconut M&M's.  I suggest using approximately 1 cup regular M&M's and 1/4 cup sweetened Coconut Flakes.

    I made these recently and they were delicious! Of course, the husband doesn’t like coconut, so I used peanut butter M&Ms. They were delicious! I’m anxious to experiment with different kinds of cake mix and candies!
