This 3-Ingredient M&M Cookie/Cake Fusion Is Incredibly Simple — And Delicious

If you’re anything like me, you’re always on the lookout for ways to add more M&Ms to your life. There’s something wonderfully satisfying about reaching into a bag of these delightful treats, tossing them into your mouth, and enjoying that satisfying crunch followed by the melty chocolate goodness. I adore homemade M&M cookies, but let’s be honest—they can be time-consuming to make.

So, when I came across a TikTok video showcasing a method to create a gigantic cookie/cake hybrid using just three ingredients and in roughly thirty minutes, I was all in. To be truthful, at first, I was skeptical. Watching eggs mix with M&Ms raised some eyebrows. Isn’t the usual method to combine eggs with wet ingredients separately? And isn’t it common to coat chocolate pieces with flour to prevent them from sinking? But trust me—just stick to this recipe, and soon you’ll find yourself indulging in this delicious cookie/cake creation.

This recipe is a breeze. Start with a family-size bag of M&Ms (my kids thought it was a bit too much, but they just don’t understand the magic). Toss them into a bowl, crack in two eggs, and mix it up while gently beating the eggs. Next, add a box of vanilla cake mix—any flavor will do, and it’ll turn out fantastic. Finally, bake it according to the cake mix instructions. That’s all there is to it!

One of the best parts? No frosting is necessary! Although, I might indulge in a sugary frosting next time because why not? The texture is a perfect balance—neither a light, fluffy cake nor a dense, chewy cookie, but something delightfully in between.

This treat is also a fantastic option for parties or bake sales. With only three steps, it’s simple enough for kids to help with the mixing, and you won’t have to worry about mishaps since it’s practically foolproof. Plus, it’s affordable, quick, and utterly delicious—you’ll want to make it over and over again.

If you have an egg allergy or intolerance, don’t fret! You can easily substitute the eggs without losing any flavor. I made one with eggs for my kids, but I also created an egg-free version for myself, and honestly, none of us could tell the difference.

If you’re searching for a quick, fun dessert to whip up for the holidays or want to engage the kids in the kitchen, this cake is a must-try. I’m planning to grab a bag of red and green holiday M&Ms for a festive twist this Christmas, and I have a feeling this will become a yearly tradition.
