To Get Your Cherry Chip Cake Batter Cookies with Red White and Blue Candies Started…
Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) and line a baking sheet (or two) with parchment paper.
Next, combine the cherry chip cake mix, eggs, vegetable oil, vanilla extract, baking powder, and red food color, in a large bowl, or the bowl of your stand mixer.
Mix all of the ingredients until smooth, then add the M&M candies and use a spoon to gently fold them, so that they don’t break.
Baking Your Cherry Chip Cake Batter Cookies with Red White and Blue Candies…
Spoon the cake batter cookie dough onto the parchment paper lined baking sheet(s) in heaping teaspoonful amounts, leaving about 2 inches spacing between each cookie. Bake at 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) for 8-10 minutes, or until the bottoms begin to get golden and the cookies no longer appear raw. The coloring will change from a deep reddish pink to a degree lighter when the dough is no longer raw.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool for 2-3 minutes on the baking sheet, before transferring to a wire cooling rack to cool completely. These cookies will keep for up to a week if stored in an airtight container.
Enjoy!
