M&M Cookies

            This cookie is the perfection of candy and cookie combined. It is a chewy cookie that is full of color.

M&M cookies turn a boring day into one filled with smiles. Just the thought of one of these cookies for a snacktime treat is enough to put a smile on my face.

            Name one kid that does not smile when you offer a sweet treat! How about one that is told it is an M&M cookie? That is why these are great snacks. They make both young and old both happy.

            Cookies can be made for your family, they can be made and brought to church dinners, celebrations or kid’s gatherings.

Frequently Asked Questions:

            Can I use a different type of candy in the cookies?

If you can find one that is similar, go ahead. You could use miniature Rolo, miniature Reese’s cups or even Reese’s candies.

            Can I use something other than chocolate chips?

You could use white chocolate chips, peanut butter chips or dark chocolate chips.

            Can I make this a healthy version?

Well, yes, instead of one egg use ½ cup of applesauce, 2 eggs equals 1 cup. Use sodium free butter. Cut back on the sugar or use a different type of sugar.

            Do I have to chill the dough?

Chilling the dough is the most important portion of these cookies.
