Using supermarket-bought pancake mix, these super-easy cookies are ready in no time at all! And they're GREAT for lunchboxes too!

Ingredients

375g container original pancake shake

2 tablespoons cocoa powder

½ cup brown sugar, firmly packed

180g packet chocolate M&M’s (¾ cup)

125g unsalted butter, melted and cooled

1 egg, lightly beaten

2 teaspoons vanilla essence

Method

  1. Line two, large oven trays with baking paper.

  2. Place pancake mix into a large bowl. Stir in sifted cocoa, then sugar and M&M’s. Make well in the centre. Add butter, egg and vanilla. Stir until well combined.

  3. Roll ¼ cups of mixture into balls. Place 7cm apart on prepared trays. Flatten slightly with fingertips into 7cm rounds. 

  4. Cook in a moderately slow oven (160C) for about 15 minutes, or until just firm to touch (surface will appear lightly cracked). Remove from oven. Stand on trays for 5 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool. Serve.

     

    TIP! For a change, replace M&M’s with Dark, Milk or White Choc Bits. Cookies can be made up to one week ahead. Store in an airtight container.
