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!

BEST M&M Cookies are divine!

These amazing cookies start with Mrs. Field’s Chocolate Chip Cookie Copycat Recipe but use M&Ms instead.

BEST M&M Cookies are great for tailgating or holiday parties.

Here’s what I did.

I used these ingredients.

Soften butter. Add sugar, brown sugar, vanilla, eggs, baking soda, baking powder and salt.

Mix with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy.

Add UNBLEACHED all-purpose flour. (Bleached flour toughens baked goods). Add M&Ms.

Stir with a wooden spoon until well combined.

Spray cookie sheets with cooking spray. Roll dough into balls and place on prepared baking sheets.

Bake cookies at 350 about 13-15 minutes or until done.

These cookies are spectacular.

Every bite of BEST M&M Cookies will have you drooling.

BEST M&M Cookies will satisfy every sweet tooth craving you have.

Here’s the recipe.

Equipment

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

Ingredients

  

1x2x3x

• 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.
