It’s been a while since I posted a recipe! I wanted to share this super simple and delicious cookie recipe. Every year at church we grab a cookie tin during the holidays, fill it with cookies and return it. These tins of cookies are then delivered to people who are homebound during the holidays. I love this. Here’s how to make chewy M&M cookies.
Kate and I got to work trying out this new recipe and made extras to have at home. I love teaching my kids about giving and Kate loves to be in the kitchen with me, so it’s a definite win/win. These taste like chewy store bought cookies, and they did not last long at our house. t’s also a good way to use up all those M&M packets from Halloween!
The thing that drew me to this recipe was the simple ingredients I always have on hand (besides the M&Ms). Thank you Lil’ Luna blog for sharing!
How to Make Chewy M&M Cookies
Ingredients
- 2 heaping cups flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 1/2 sticks butter melted and cooled
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 egg + 1 egg yolk
- 2 teaspoons vanilla
- 1 1/2 – 2 cups chopped M&Ms
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350*.
- Mix flour, baking soda, salt in a bowl.
- In a separate larger bowl, combine sugars and butter. Then add egg, egg yolk, and vanilla.
- Slowly add flour mixture to wet mixture.
- Form dough balls and place on greased baking sheet (I spray mine with coconut oil spray).
- Bake cookies until edges are done, around 10-13 minutes (check often!).
This recipe made about 2.5 dozen cookies. Tip: I always use a melon baller to get my cookies equal size.
Will you try these chewy M&M cookies? I can’t wait to make these again. Steve thought these were the best cookies we have had in a while! xo
