Add the m&m's to the bowl and fold them in with a spatula until evenly incorporated.
1/3 cup red and green m&m's
Pour the sprinkles out into a small bowl.
Christmas colored nonpareil sprinkles
Using a small cookie scoop scoop out balls of dough, then roll in the sprinkles, and transfer to a nonstick baking sheet. Arrange in rows, leaving room for the cookies to spread while baking.
Bake at 350° for 8-10 minutes.
Carefully remove the hot pan from the oven and add a piece of christmas cake to the center of each, gently pressing in just a bit.

Notes

The batter will be quite stiff and that's what you want.
If you can't find holiday M&M's regular ones are fine, but the cookies won't look quite as Christmasy.
For easy clean up, line the cookie trays with foil or parchment paper first.
