M&M Cookies
Print This Recipe
Did you miss me? I still can’t believe it’s been a month since I’ve posted a recipe here, especially considering I’ve been baking like a crazy person lately. Unfortunately it was just tried and true recipes as I didn’t want to experiment for Rosh Hashana and Yom Kippur break-the-fast desserts. Speaking of Rosh Hashana, my mom bought a Costco-sized bag of M&Ms to fill candy dishes with when we had 40 (!!) people for dinner at our house for the holiday. Fortunately for me, there was a ton of candy left and I took it home so I could make these cookies.
As a kid, I always loved the chewy, buttery M&M cookies from the bakery. While these do not live up to my childhood memories, they are good nonetheless and I know my coworkers will gobble them up in no time tomorrow.
Photos of the process here.
Ingredients
1 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup white sugar
1 cup butter
2 eggs
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups candy-coated milk chocolate pieces
Preparation
- In a large bowl, mix sugar, eggs, shortening, and vanilla thoroughly. Add flour, salt, and baking soda to creamed mixture. Blend well. Add 3/4 cup of M&M candies.
- Drop dough by teaspoonful onto cookie sheet. Slightly push a few candies on top of each dough ball with remaining candies.
- Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 9 to 11 minutes, to your liking.

Hi! I`m from Brazil and as a bake-lover I always check your blog for great recipes and I`ve been missing the new ones lately. It’s good to have them back! 🙂
mmm…sounds delish. i might have to break out of my chocolate-oat-chip mode to try these….
I think I may just have to make these… when I was a kid they were my favorite, I used to call them party cookies, because my mom bought some for a class party when I was 4. Still to this day they have to be one of my fav treats.
I made these the other day with Halloween M&Ms. I’m really picky about M&M cookies and these were great! I underbaked a few batches and left them on the cookie sheets a little longer when cooling. They can out crispy and chewy. Delicious!
I think I’m going to make these tonight to add to my holiday baskets. I’m excited they look so good. I’ll let you know how it goes!
This baked like 120 cookies for me 🙁 I’m tired
