Double Chocolate M&M Cookies

I’m on my own again this week in the kitchen.  My newly-turned teenager is at cross-country camp, running her heart out.  This was a new adventure for her. Maddie’s running with a school this year and doesn’t know any of the kids yet.  She’s one that likes to understand a situation completely before she encounters it, so for her to venture out to a camp that she’s never been to before with kids she’s never met is so stretching her.  It’s teaching her lessons in faith and trust.

It’s not only teaching her lessons…it’s teaching this mama lessons in faith and trust also. My little girl, just entering into the teenager phase.

Yikes.

How did that happen? Seems like just yesterday she was curled close in my lap reading Sandra Boynton’s The Going to Bed Book. I can still recite that book word for word.

These simple Double Chocolate M&M Cookies take me back to those simpler days. M&M’s always made my kids smile and M&M cookies continue to be a favorite find in our cookie jar.

You’ll love these cookies because they are super soft and super fudgy.  They won’t take more than 15 minutes to whip up.  I do recommend refrigerating the dough for 30 minutes or so.  We like to scoop out the cookies onto baking sheets before refrigerating simply because the dough is easier to handle when it is softer. It also takes less time to bring them to refrigerator temperature. If you are short on fridge space and don’t have room for trays, just refrigerate the big bowl of dough for about an hour and your cookies will turn out just as thick as ever.

Enjoy your kids today. They grow up fast. Spend some time in the kitchen with them whipping up a batch of these colorful cookies. Then sit down with a glass of milk, freshly baked cookie and watch them smile.

  1. My husband would love these. He is a chocolate person for sure. I might make these and use whole wheat soft wheat ( I grind my own wheat) and sucanat for the sugar. I also might do them as they are for a bake sale coming up soon.

    • I’ve seen sucanat in the store but have never bought it. I looked it up and saw that it has a molasses flavor. Sounds so good! I hope your husband loves these cookies!

  12. The Going To Bed Book was my daughter’s favorite book when she was a baby as well. We read it so many time, even now, we still read it!
    These cookies look amazing! The kids and not only go crazy over colorful M&M’s and those fudgy cookies are sure grabbing my attention!
    Thanks for bringing them to this year’s #chocolateparty

  13. I was looking for a double chocolate m&m cookie that didn’t require baker’s chocolate, just cocoa, and I made your recipe. It turned out great. Everything I used was organic, including palm sugar for the brown sugar, which probably ahs more molasses. I would have added a touch less flour and wished I had added it gradually, just because they dough became difficult to work with, and I’d like them just a touch flatter, but that’s a minor tweak and they look just like your photo. I had to experiment with the time a bit, and each batch differed by a minute or two, but they were each great in their own way, even the crisper ones. I would’ve put a touch less sugar too but I should probably do that with every cookie recipe, they always seem too sweet. But indeed very soft and rich as advertised.

  14. Thanks for sharing this recipe! Exactly what I needed! I’m planning to use christmas m&ms to make xmas cookies! 🙂

  15. Hello!
    I made these cookies tonight was a celebration for good grades. They were awesome! I added a box of instant chocolate pudding to the mix and didn’t refrigerate them and they were amazing! I add pudding to all my cookie mixes because it keeps them soft and prevents them from going flat.
    Thank you so much for the recipe!

  16. I made these cookies and did everything exact and they came out salty, what am I doing wrong??! I made 3 batches and both salty!😫

  20. I see someone said these were salty and then the question was asked if that person used salted butter. I plan to make these Sunday night for VBS on Monday. Are you supposed to used salted or unsalted butter? (I keep both on hand, but unless unsalted is stated, I use salted.
