Simple M&M Cookies

Sometimes, Simple M&M Cookies are all you need. Soft and delicious cookie that is only minutes away from being in the oven. 

We are all in the Christmas spirit over here. I don’t know about you, but the weather is FRIGID in our neck of the woods. When the weather was in the 50’s, it was hard to realize Christmas was a’coming. We get it now. :-)

There is, to me, no greater dessert then the cookie (especially these Simple M&M Cookies!). I enjoy all types and brands. All shapes and sizes. All makes and models. Cookies are easy to make and you don’t feel so guilty eating two or three. I mean, it isn’t like you are eating two or three pieces of pie, right?!?

Just say right and take a bite of another cookie…

How to make this Christmas cookie recipe

When is the last time you bit into a warm cookie that had M&M’S in them? The M&M’S hold their shape in the oven so the chocolate is a little melty yet the outside is still crunchy. Delicious!

If you are looking for cookies to add to your Christmas cookie tray, try Gooey Strawberry Cookies or White Velvet Cookies (in addition to the Simple M&M Cookies, of course).

To make, mix together the softened butter, sugars and egg.

Then add the flour, baking soda and salt. Mix well.

What kind of M&M’s should I use?

You can find Christmas M&M’s at Walmart or most grocery stores. Certainly, regular M&M’s work as well and if you really want to, you can pull out whatever colors you want to use out those the regular bag.

It all works.

When the dough is mixed together, you have a choice. You can mix the M&M’s in the dough or you can place them individually on top of the rolled cookie dough.

It’s preference. It looks more colorful by placing the M&M’s on top of the cookie.

Then bake and enjoy. Simple recipe and easy to make. Delicious as well.
