Description

These Mini M&M Cookies are the ultimate treat, combining the crunch of mini M&M’s with a soft, chewy cookie base. Perfect for satisfying your sweet tooth!


Ingredients

Scale

Dough:

  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Add-Ins:

  • 1 cup mini M&M’s
  • 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips (optional, for extra chocolatey flavor)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat oven to 350°F and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. Mix the Dough: Cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, then mix in vanilla extract.
  3. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  4. Add Mix-Ins: Fold in mini M&M’s and mini chocolate chips if using.
  5. Bake: Drop rounded dough onto baking sheets and bake for 8–10 minutes until edges are golden and centers are set.
  6. Cool and Enjoy: Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • For soft and chewy cookies, avoid overbaking.
  • Chill the dough for 30 minutes before baking for thicker cookies.
  • Freeze dough balls and bake directly from frozen, adding 1–2 extra minutes to baking time.
