These chewy M&M cookies offer a perfect balance of soft, tender dough with bursts of melty chocolate and crunchy candy shells. Quick and easy to make, they are a nostalgic treat loved by kids and adults alike.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 ¼ cups (280g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¾ cup (170g) unsalted butter, softened
  • ¾ cup (150g) packed brown sugar
  • ¼ cup (50g) granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs, at room temperature
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • 1 ½ cups (270g) M&Ms

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, beat the softened butter with brown sugar and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
  4. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
  5. Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Fold in the M&Ms, saving a few to press on top of the cookies before baking.
  7. Cover the dough and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
  8. Use a cookie scoop or spoon to drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing about 2 inches apart.
  9. Bake for 10-12 minutes, rotating sheets halfway through. Edges should be set but centers still soft.
  10. Let cookies rest on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Use softened but not melted butter for best texture. Chill dough to help cookies hold shape and intensify flavor. Press extra M&Ms on top before baking for a prettier presentation. Avoid overmixing the dough to keep cookies tender. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
