Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.  Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.  Set aside.

In a large bowl, use a wooden spoon or spatula to stir together the cake mix, eggs, oil, vanilla, and coffee powder.

Fold in the mini M&M’s.

Use heaping tablespoons of the cookie dough and drop them onto the prepared baking sheet.  Press 4 – 6 regular size M&M’s into the dough.

Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the tops of the cookies look dry.  The cookies should be ‘fudgy’ in the center.

While hot, press 2 candy eyes into each of the cookies.

Transfer the cookies to a wire rack to cool completely.

Store the cookies in an airtight container for up to 1 week.
