These M&M Cookies are a twist on my Mom’s Chocolate Chip Cookies! Mom’s cookies may just be my favorite chocolate chip cookies of all time, so naturally I needed to use the cookie dough to make other kinds of cookies. And it sure is perfect for M&M cookies! These cookies are so simple to make with basic ingredients, incredibly soft, and loaded with the perfect amount of chocolate-y candy crunch.

Ingredients Needed:

Butter: use unsalted or omit the salt so you don’t end up with overly salty cookies. Sugar: you’ll use a combination of brown and granulated sugar to sweeten these cookies. Brown sugar adds delicious molasses-y flavor! Eggs: adds moisture and helps the cookies hold shape. Vanilla: provides flavor depth and warm sweetness. All-Purpose Flour: gives the cookies their structure. You can also use whole wheat flour or a combination. An equal weight of gluten-free oat flour will work perfectly to make these gluten-free. Salt: cuts the sweetness and brings out flavors. Baking Soda: keeps the cookies light and fluffy and gives a golden edge. Chocolate chips: for an extra dose of chocolate! M&Ms: you can use regular M&Ms or mini M&Ms!

How to Make M&M Cookies

Tips and Notes for M&M Cookies

Spoon and level the flour. I recommend spooning the flour into the measuring cup and leveling it off gently with your finger. This keeps it from getting too packed in. Another great option is to weigh the flour to make sure you don’t end up with too much. You’ll need 390 grams! Make the cookies as big or as small as you want. I use three tablespoons of dough, but feel free to make these cookies whatever size you want. Just keep in mind that this will affect the bake time. Smaller cookies will need 8-9 minutes, while large cookies can take up to 12 minutes. Don’t overbake. Take the cookies out of the oven when the edges are a light golden color but the middle is still slightly glossy. They will set up as they cool and the final product will be extra soft and chewy. For a super finished look, press a couple of M&Ms onto the just finished cookies as soon as they come out of the oven.
