Mouth Melting Cookie Goodness

Now that it’s summer break, I’ll be in the kitchen testing out new recipes with the kids. And this Loaded M&M Cookies recipe is such a fun one to make with your little helpers. The dough is easily made from pantry staples and the kiddos will love stirring in all the mini M&Ms. Honestly, the only real challenge is keeping them from ‘sampling’ all the dough before you can bake it! I love how they look, too. They bake up so bright and colorful, you’ll want take a plate to friends and share the cookie love!

I love baking with Mini M&Ms–the insides of the candies melt perfectly while the outside shell stays crunchy. It makes for such an amazing texture. And the cookies themselves are made from the butteriest, most delicious cookie dough base. They bake up chewy in the middle and crisp around the edges! I know you’ll enjoy them!

How to Make Loaded M&M Cookies

Preheat oven to 350°F. Line two cookie sheets with parchment paper and set aside.

In the bowl of an electric mixer, beat the butter and sugars until smooth. Add the eggs and vanilla and beat until well combined.

In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda and salt. Add to the wet ingredients and mix on low until just combined.

Gently stir in 1 and 1/2 cups M&Ms on low speed or with a wooden spoon.

Scoop dough into 2-tablespoon sized balls and place a few inches apart on the prepared cookie sheets. Generously press additional M&M’s all over the top of the cookie dough scoops.

Bake for 8-10 minutes or until the cookies are just starting to turn light brown around the edges and barely starting to crackle on top, rotating the cookies sheets after 5 minutes of baking time.

Let cookies cool a few minutes on the cookie sheets and then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
