M&M’s Christmas Cookies for Santa

This Christmas M&M’s Cookies are the perfect cookies for Santa! Crunchy and colorful Christmas M&M’s in an easy to make buttery cookie dough, studded with milk chocolate chips and white chocolate chips. One of the things I love most about this recipe is how simple is to make. It starts with melted butter, so you don’t have to wait for butter to soften and the dough doesn’t require any refrigeration. You can have these cookies baking in the oven in just a few minutes!

Don’t forget to grab a big bag of Christmas M&M’s for your holiday baking needs!

I like to use my stand mixer to mix the cookie dough, but a hand mixer will work just a well.

Then I use a medium sized cookie scoop to measure out the cookie dough.

I add 4-5 additional M&M’s to the top of the cookie dough before baking so you can really see the M&M’s on the baked cookie. Just look at that cookie dough packed with chocolate chips, white chocolate chips and M&M’s!

Bake 8-9 minutes just until the edges are light golden brown. Cookies will continue to cook as they cool.
