BEST, EASY M&M’s CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES
do you have a go-to recipe for chocolate chip cookies??? I hadn’t until this one and I would go on Pinterest and try a whole bunch that claimed they were the best – but seriously until I had the ones I share in this post I was disappointed and underwhelmed with the other recipes I’d tried .. HERE are the best, easy M&M’s chocolate chip cookies!
I love that the colorful spring M&M’s make this festive for Easter – but you could add in Cadbury eggs too (totally trying that soon!) and any other color combination – for ANY time of year or occasion to make these cookies festive! try our homemade sugar cookies here

here’s the written recipe for the best, easy M&M’s chocolate chip cookies
recipe
1 cup butter (room temp)
1 cup brown sugar (packed)
3/4 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 Tbsp vanilla extract
3 1/4 cup all purpose flour (stir, spoon + level)
1 tsp salt
1 tsp baking soda
1 cup chocolate chips
1 1/2 cups M&M’s candies (divided)
instructions
preheat oven to 350 degrees F
line cookie sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mat – I used a stone sheet for mine
in the bowl of your mixer – combine the butter and both sugars – cream until light and fluffy – add eggs + vanilla – mix well and scrape bowl with spatula
in a separate bowl, stir flour, salt and baking soda. add dry ingredients to butter mixture until just combined
add choc chips and 1/2 cup of M&M’s – mix on low speed
scoop cookie dough balls (about 2 Tbsp each) and place onto prepared cookie sheets
-fit about 8 cookies per tray
generously press M&M’s into the tops of each cookie ball – maintain the round shape
bake at 350 degrees F for
8-10 minutes until edges are barely starting to brown
allow to cool 1-2 minutes on tray, then transfer to wire cooling racks to cool completely
we like our cookies a little on the gooey side so we didn’t cook ours as long and I took them off the cookie sheet and onto the cooling rack after about 1 minute
our family was obsessed with these and I couldn’t stop eating them lol I hope you enjoy! have a wonderful Easter weekend!
