(Yield: 24)

For the Cookies:

• 1 box chocolate cake mix
• 2 large eggs
• 1/2 cup vegetable oil
• 1 cup M&M's (plus a few extra for decoration, if desired)
• 2 oz package of Sprinkle Pop “Oh Biscuits” sprinkles

For the Fudge Icing:

• 1/2 cup unsalted butter
• 1/4 cup milk
• 1/4 cup cocoa powder
• 2 cups powdered sugar, sifted
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

Make the Cookies:

• Preheat the Oven & Prepare Baking Sheets: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats to prevent sticking.
• Combine Ingredients: In a large bowl, use a hand mixer or a stand mixer to blend the chocolate cake mix, eggs, and vegetable oil until a thick dough forms.
• Add M&M's: Gently fold in the cup of M&M's into the dough, being careful not to crush the candies.
• Form the Cookies: Scoop tablespoon-sized amounts of dough, roll them into balls, and place them on the prepared baking sheets about 2 inches apart, as they will spread a bit during baking.
• Bake: Place the cookies in the preheated oven and bake for 8-10 minutes, or until they are set but still soft in the center. Remove from the oven, let them cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Make the Fudge Icing:

• Melt Butter & Combine: In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Stir in the milk and cocoa powder until the mixture is smooth. Remove from heat.
• Add Powdered Sugar & Vanilla: Gradually stir in the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until smooth. If the icing is too thick, add a little more milk, a teaspoon at a time, until it reaches a thick but pipeable consistency.
• Cool Slightly: Allow the fudge icing to cool slightly, so it thickens up but is still soft enough to pipe.
• Pipe the Icing: Transfer the slightly cooled fudge icing to a piping bag fitted with a small round or star tip. Pipe the icing onto the cooled cookies, creating swirls or designs as desired.
• Decorate: Use our “Oh Biscuits” sprinkle mix for the perfect touch!
• Set: Let the icing set for a few minutes before serving, allowing it to firm up a bit.
