M&M Cookie Recipe You’ll Really Like

This M&M cookie recipe is pretty quick and easy to make. I used holiday M&M’s, but you can use regular ones, too.

There’s something about one of these cookies that’s just better than regular chocolate chip. I’m not saying there’s a huge difference between the two baked goods, but it’s got to be the M&M’s being different colors or something.

Anyway, this recipe makes 18-20 cookies. More if your disks of dough are smaller.

Here’s what you’ll need to put this M&M cookie recipe together. Using a mixer for the dough might be better than a spatula, but it worked for me.

To kick things off, you’ll need to melt your butter. You could also just leave it out for a while at room temperature but melting it is faster. Also, you may want to pre-heat your oven to 350F before you start mixing everything together since it won’t take too long to prep this M&M cookie recipe.

About 1 minute in the microwave was enough for mine to get melted.

Then, pour it into a large mixing bowl.

Once that’s in there for this M&M cookie recipe, go ahead and get your sugar and 1 cup measuring cup.

Following that, pour 1 cup of sugar into the melted butter.

For this next part of the M&M cookie recipe, get the whisk

Whisk together the butter and sugar for a minute or two so there aren’t any big clumps or anything.

Following that, crack your two eggs into the bowl.

Once those eggs are in there, get the vanilla extract. Measure 1 teaspoon into the bowl.

Mix all that around with the whisk for this M&M cookie recipe.

Once that’s all mixed around, go ahead and grab your baking powder and measuring spoons.

Measure 2 teaspoons of baking powder into the bowl and a half teaspoon of salt (I just shook some in, you can eyeball it too).

Mix that around and then grab your measuring cups with some flour.

Measure out 2 and 2/3 cups of flour and dump those into the liquid mix. Layering them in steadily as you mix it together is best.

Use a spatula to mix it, as the flour will get stuck in the whisk if you try to use that.

So, yea, grab the spatula if you haven’t already for this part of the M&M cookie recipe. We’re almost home here.

Mix that around really well.

Grab your M&M’s and pour some into a bowl, about a cup’s worth. Take a baking sheet and line it with parchment paper, too.

Flatten 9 disks of dough and put them on the baking sheet. Then, press about 8 M&M’s into each disk of dough.

Bake at 350F for 12 minutes, remove and let cool on a rack or just on the baking sheet.

Once they’re done, you’ll have something that looks like the picture above!
