Chewy & Crispy M&M Cookies
It wouldn’t be Christmas without baking a couple dozen of M&M cookies. I love this M&M cookie recipe because there’s no chilling needed. If you’re anything like me, sometimes you forget to plan. 🙂
These cookies are the perfect consistency of chewy and crispy, with each bite filled with chocolatey M&M’s.
Even though these are Christmas themed, you can easily swap the festive red and green M&M’s with rainbow M&M’s and make them any time of the year. I hope you enjoy these cookies!
Tips on making perfect M&M Christmas Cookies
M&M Christmas Cookies are super easy to make and there’s no chilling of dough required! Here’s some of my tips that I find that are important in making M&M cookies to prevent them from becoming flat.
Can You Freeze M&M Cookie Dough?
Yes, this cookie dough will freeze well. The dough can be made ahead of time, placed in a freezer-safe airtight container and stored in the freezer for 3 months.Another option is to freeze individual balls of dough. Freeze the balls of dough, first, for about an hour on a sheet pan. Then store them all in a freezer-safe airtight container in the freezer. This method works well if you don’t want to bake all of the cookies at one time.
Can You Freeze Baked M&M Cookies?
These M&M cookies work great for baking ahead of time and freezing for later. To freeze, place the completely cooled baked cookies in a single layer in a freezer-safe baggie and store in the freezer. When you’re ready to eat your cookies, let them sit at room temperature until they’re soft.
