    After being in Miami Beach last week it was a bit difficult to come back home to inches upon inches of snow. It was a real reminder that winter in Wisconsin can often last well into the months after Christmas.

    With that being said, when holidays like Valentine's Day come up, we do our best to make the most of them. It definitely gives us something to look forward to in that "gray" period between Christmas and the true signs of spring.

    So today, we're making 5-Ingredient Cake Mix Cookies to celebrate the "day of love"! Celebrating holidays doesn't need to be complicated. These cookies are made with a simple box of funfetti cake mix and only four other ingredients, including M&Ms and sprinkles that are Valentine's Day-themed.

    How to Make Cake Mix Cookies

    Start by mixing together the DRY cake mix, oil and eggs.

    The dash of color comes next, in the form of sprinkles and M&Ms. Although today, we're celebrating Valentine's Day, these cookies can be made with any kind of sprinkles or M&Ms!

    I actually found these sprinkles at Walmart in the seasonal aisle along with all of the Valentine's cards and stuffed animals. They also sell them on Amazon.

    I don't know about your family, but given the choice between cookies without M&Ms and sprinkles and cookies with, my family will ALWAYS pick the latter!

    I'm not one for crispy, hard cookies. That's why these cake mix cookies have a special place on my "favorite cookies" list.

    Ingredients

    • 1 box Funfetti cake mix
    • 2 large eggs
    • ⅓ cup oil
    • 1 ½ cups M&Ms
    • 3 tablespoons sprinkles

    Instructions

    • Preheat oven to 350º Fahrenheit.
    • In a mixing bowl, add dry cake mix, eggs and oil and combine.
    • Mix in the M&Ms and sprinkles.
    • Roll or scoop dough into 1" balls and place onto greased baking sheet.
    • Bake 7 to 9 minutes or until the edges start to brown.
    • Allow them to cool on a cooling rack.

    Notes

    1. Consistency is Key: Pay attention to the consistency of the cookie dough. It should be thick enough to hold its shape when rolled into balls. If the dough is too sticky, you can refrigerate it for about 30 minutes to firm it up before rolling.
    2. Don't Overbake: Keep a close eye on the cookies while they're in the oven. Overbaking can result in dry and crumbly cookies. Aim to take them out when the edges just start to brown, as they will continue to set as they cool on the baking sheet.
    3. Get Creative with Mix-Ins: While M&Ms and sprinkles are classic additions to Funfetti cookies, feel free to experiment with other mix-ins like chocolate chips, chopped nuts, or even shredded coconut. Customizing the mix-ins can add a unique twist to your cookies and cater to different preferences.
