Reviews
These cookies are great! I was able to get 5 dozen cookies using a rounded tablespoon of dough for each cookie. I baked them for about 10-12 minutes. Yummy!
Loved this recipe! Tastes like it is from a professional bakery
My kids loved these cookies. I used a big bag of mini m&m’s, saved about 1/2 cup to press 5-6 into the top of each one prior to cooking.
I made for Christmas with red and green M & M’s. Perfect cookies, a mix of soft chewy and slightly crisp on the edge. Yum!
Too much sugar. I cut it in 1/2.
they were nice and fluffy! I got 36 cookies out of this recipe!
Great recipe…left in for about 8.5 min, they were perfect.
I made these cookies today. I followed the recipe to the tee, except I used only 1 1/2 cups of dark chocolate Easter M&Ms (10 oz bag). I used my KitchenAid mixer for this recipe. Two cups of M&Ms is too much for my taste. Also, once you get to adding the M&Ms, make sure to mix them in manually with spoon or soft silicone spatula, because the KitchenAid mixer will break apart the M&Ms. Trust me you don’t want them to break apart, it will ruin the recipe and make a chocolate mess.PS, I also didn’t wait in our to let them sit in the refrigerator for an hour. They still turned out fine.
These cookies were so easy to make, and the kids loved them! So fun and festive.
