Easy M&M Cookies Recipe

M&M cookies are like a colorful party in each bite! Making them is a breeze. You start with a simple cookie dough—a mix of flour, sugar, butter, and eggs. Then comes the fun part: adding in those vibrant M&M candies! Mix them into the dough, and suddenly, your cookies are bursting with bright colors.

Pop spoonfuls of dough onto a baking sheet and let the oven work its magic. In no time, you’ve got cookies with crispy edges and a soft, chewy center, studded with deliciously melty M&Ms. They’re perfect for satisfying a sweet tooth or sharing with friends for a colorful, tasty treat!

How To Make M&M Cookies

First, preheat your oven to 350 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Pour melted butter into a mixing bowl. Add to that, white sugar and brown sugar. Mix the ingredients until combined.

Add vanilla extract to bowl and crack in an egg. Whisk to blend everything together.

Now it’s time to add in the dry ingredients. Measure out flour, baking soda, and salt. Drop into bowl and stir to blend together.

Add all but 2 Tablespoons of the M&M’s to the cookie batter. Stir gently to incorporate.

Using a spoon, scoop round balls of dough out of the bowl and shape into about 10 cookies on the parchment paper. Use your fingers to gently press the tops and flatten them. Then add the remaining M&M’s to the surface of the raw cookies.

Bake cookies for 11 minutes. Then pull them out of the oven and allow to cool for 30 minutes. Now they’re ready to enjoy!

Cooking Tips

• Laying parchment paper on top of the baking sheet makes clean-up a breeze
• Do not worry if cookies look underdone when you pull them out of the oven, they will solidify as they cool
• If the cookies bake together, just separate them once they have cooled

Can I Use Regular M&M’s For Baking?

Yes, you can use any type of M&M candies for baking. Just be sure to add a few to the top of the dough before baking. This gives a better presentation.

What To Serve With M&M Cookies

These delightful cookies would perfect with a warm beverage like a Keto Pumpkin Spice Latte (Starbucks Copycat Recipe), Mexican Atole Hot Drink Recipe, or Best Ever Mexican Hot Chocolate Recipe.

Or serve the cookies with a scoop of ice cream for an epic dessert. We love Healthy Chocolate Banana Ice Cream (Dairy-Free, Vegan, Paleo), Green Tea (Matcha) Ice Cream Recipe (No Machine Needed!), and Banana Soft Serve Dairy Free Ice Cream Recipe.
