Perfect M&M Cookies

February 2, 2015 by Melissa 6 Comments

 

Perfect M&M Cookies

 

These cookies are the perfect M&M cookies. They are loaded with milk chocolate chips, white chocolate chips and M&M’s. I started with the cookie dough from my Perfect Chocolate Chip Cookies and added a combo of milk chocolate chips and white chocolate chips along with the M&M’s. The white chocolate chips don’t get as soft and melty as the milk chocolate chips, so you have three different textures in these M&M cookies. Sweet white chocolate chips that hold their shape nicely, soft and melty milk chocolate chips and a little crunch from the M&M’s. These M&M cookies are big and beautiful too. Perfect for gift giving or the a holiday treat! I’ve used the Valentine’s Day M&M’s, but these would be perfect with any color!

This recipe only calls for 1/2 a cup of M&M’s to be mixed in the dough, then top the cookie dough with additional M&M’s. This is the best way to get those picture perfect M&M cookies.

    What changes would you suggest if I want to leave out the other chips and use JUST M&Ms?
