BEST M&M Cookies

Teresa Ambra

BEST M&M Cookies really are the B-E-S-T!!! These fantastic cookies start with my amazing version of Mrs. Field’s Chocolate Chip Cookies (copycat recipe) but instead of using chocolate chips, I substituted M&Ms. Oh my, they were heavenly.

Back in July, our church had a Kid’s Fest at a local park. Several thousand people came through all the activities. I recruited several ladies from our church to bake homemade cookies. After being swarmed on Friday, I went home Friday night and most of Saturday and baked an additional six hundred cookies to ensure we had enough for the crowds. I also contacted several others to bring more cookies! Yes, they went FAST!

One of those scrumptious cookies I baked were these BEST M&M Cookies. If I hadn’t been giving them away, I would have eaten an enormous amount of them. 🙂 These cookies were divine. If you need a dynamite cookie for holiday baking, baby showers, backyard BBQs, family reunions or potlucks, I highly recommend these amazing cookies. But better be prepared to make two or three batches. These go fast!

Equipment

  • 2 18x26" cookie sheet pans
  • 1 large mixing bowl
  • 1 electric mixer
  • 1 wooden spoon
  • measuring cups
  • measuring spoons
  • 1 spatula

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup unsalted butter softened (2 sticks) packed
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 1/2 cups brown sugar packed
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 1/2 tsp. vanilla extract (no imitation vanilla flavoring)
  • 3 1/2 cups UNBLEACHED all-purpose flour (bleached flour toughens baked goods)
  • 3/4 tsp. sea salt
  • 1 tsp. baking powder
  • 1 tsp. baking soda
  • 3 cups M&M candies

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350°.
  • In a large mixing bowl, mix the butter, sugars, eggs, vanilla, salt, baking powder and baking soda with an electric mixer until smooth.
  • Stir in flour and M&Ms with a wooden spoon to combine well.
  • Shape dough with hands into golf ball-sized dough balls and place a couple inches apart on greased cookie sheets.
  • Bake for 13-15 minutes or until edges are light brown.
  • Rotate cookies on racks every six minutes while baking.
  • Cool completely.

Notes

NOTE: There are times when I’m making a double batch of this recipe where I have to add an additional quarter to half cup of flour in order to be able to roll the dough into balls. If the dough gets too sticky. Add a little flour to the batter.
 
NOTE: You can make these cookies with only 3 cups flour. Freeze the cookie dough balls on cookie sheets about 10-15 minutes before baking so the cookies don't flatten out to much while baking.

    This recipe was the bomb.com!! Just made a batch and they were so SOFT and DELICIOUS that I had to leave a comment. Although next time I might cut down the sugar 1/4-1/8 cup because they are a tad sweet! 10/10!
