M&M’s Cookies – Soft-baked and chewy bakery cookies at home! So easy to make and perfect for parties or any festivities! Everyone loves cookie recipes, especially colorful ones!
There is something about soft-baked and colorful cookies, especially ones loaded with M&M’s. They always seem to bring out the inner child in me. Does this happen to you too?
The past couple of weeks, we have been swimming in cookies – testing, testing, and more testing. I keep telling myself; it’s okay to have cookies for breakfast. It happens sometimes. More like the past two weeks. At least, January is right around there. Hello, skinny recipes! I am looking forward to them, surprisingly.
If minty cookies aren’t your thing for the holidays, then these are the perfect cookies for you. I do however love Andes mint cookies and mint chocolate chip cookies. Mmmm… You may also enjoy these white chocolate macadamia nut cookies, so good.
The Ultimate Cookie Handbook – a must have!
There are a couple of tips I would like to share with you on making this m&m’s cookies recipe. You will want to ensure you have a medium cookie scoop on hand. It’s perfect for cookies because it’s mess-free and it measures out the perfect amount of cookie dough, approximately 1.5 – 2 tablespoons in each scoop.
You will also want to make sure you have a non-sticking baking mat or parchment paper. I highly recommend the non-stick baking mat because it’s easy to take care of, less waste, and the cookies seem to grip the mat very well when baking. I think they create the best cookies.
