M & M Cookies

 My family and I love a good M & M cookie any time of the year. But nothing tops M & M Cookies at Christmastime. It is the ultimate holiday cookie!

M & M Cookies

If you think about it, M & M cookies are really nothing more than a Chocolate Chip Cookie enhanced with bits of color. The recipe for either cookie will work, and pretty much give you the same results. I know at our house, my girls & I use my M & M Cookie recipe whether were making M & M or Chocolate Chip. But what happens when you take the Milk Chocolate M & M’s, with their delicious candy coated crunch, pair them with the Semi-Sweet Chocolate chips and add it to an incredibly soft, chewy and perfectly sweet cookie? I say decadence! I like the added bonus of the mini M & M’s. There is something about M & M’s made into tiny form, that just make these treasures that much more pleasing to sink your teeth into!

I don’t know what cookie Santa’s going to request at your house, I don’t think you can go wrong with these little festive delights. If you are going to be a part of a cookie exchange this year, I would say these are definitely a good crowd-pleasing choice (young & old). It would be hard to find someone who didn’t love these cookies. Trust me, Santa is going to dig these!!!

I know we will be enjoying these delights at our house (Santa included). I Hope you get a chance to make these this Christmas season and enjoy every chewy morsel with your family, too! Click this blog post if you are looking for other festive dessert ideas.

    These certainly look yummy! I always enjoyed them at my grandmother’s house . It has been years since I have made them. I will have to get some M&M’s soon. I can’t believe Christmas is almost here!

    This is a great recipe Cindy! My girls or myself, make these all the time … whether chocolate chips or M & M’s. I know what you mean about Christmas. I hate to admit, I get a little gloomy the first couple days after Christmas. It’s all the excitement and build up of the celebration and then ‘boom’, it’s gone. Also, we spend a lot of time with relatives this time of year. I am always sad to see it go back to normal …which is too much time between visits. Thanks for sharing!!! xo
