    I am convinced that mini M&M's are the best M&M's out there. They just taste better! You also get more of them when you use them in cookies.

    With no mixer required, these soft and chewy cookies comes together using one bowl and a whisk.

    Key Ingredients

    Full recipe and ingredients are in the recipe card below. Feel free to scroll through this section to view the five ingredients we’re using!

    Butter – Unsalted. This will be melted.

    Eggs - Remove the egg out 2 hours before baking.

    Mini M&M's - I bought mini M&M's at my local grocery store. You will need one 200g bag.

    Mini chocolate chips - I personally love mini chocolate chips because they leave the perfect pockets of chocolate in each bite. Regular sized semi-sweet or dark may be used as well. Milk will be too sweet.

    Step by Step Instructions

    Here is how to make and bake these mini M&M cookies. You will need one tray lined with parchment paper, a large mixing bowl, a spatula, a whisk, and a standard ice cream scoop.

    Step 1 - In a bowl, add in melted (and cooled at room temperature) butter, brown sugar, and white sugar. Whisk until combined.

    Step 2 - Add in egg and vanilla and continue whisking. It's okay if the mixture is grainy. Trust the process.

    Step 3 - Add in baking soda, baking powder, and flour. Switch over to a spatula and fold the dough until no flour streaks appear. The dough will be soft.

    Step 4 - Toss in mini chocolate chips and mini M&M's.

    Step 5 - Using a large cookie scooper (3 oz), scoop the dough onto a lined baking tray. You may use a silicone baking mat or parchment paper.

    Step 6 - Place all of the cookie dough balls into the fridge until they are cold. This should take about 10-15 minutes. The balls must be chilled or else the cookies will spread out too much in the oven.

    Step 7 - Bake 6 cookies at a time at 350°F for 10-12 minutes. The inside will look very soft and the outside will be a golden brown colour.

    Step 8 - Remove from oven. Keep the cookies on the tray for 5 minutes and then transfer to a cooling rack. Enjoy!

      These cookies are absolutely AMAZING!!!! Although I followed the recipe exactly, I only got 8 cookies instead of 9. I even weighed out 3 oz. scoops of dough. Also, for me, I found it worked best to press the extra mini chocolate chips and M&M's into the top of the chilled dough balls right before baking them. These cookies not only taste delicious, they are SUPER cute!!! Thank you for sharing the recipe!! Now, off to septuple the recipe to make enough for my coworkers! Ha!!
