The Best Soft and Chewy M&M’S Cookies Recipe

Print Recipe

These soft and chewy M&M’S cookies are loaded with colorful candy-coated chocolate and rich vanilla flavor. They have slightly crisp edges and a melt-in-your-mouth center, making them perfect for parties, holidays, or everyday sweet cravings.

Ingredients

  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour

  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda

  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

  • 3/4 cup unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled

  • 1 cup light brown sugar, packed

  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar

  • 1 large egg

  • 1 large egg yolk

  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

  • 1 1/2 cups M&M’S candies

 

  • 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (optional but recommended)

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.

  • In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.

  • In a large bowl, mix the melted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth and well combined.

  • Add in the egg, egg yolk, and vanilla extract. Stir until the mixture is light and creamy.

  • Gradually mix in the dry ingredients until a soft dough forms.

  • Fold in the M&M’S and chocolate chips.

  • Scoop dough (about 2 tablespoons each) and place them a few inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.

  • Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers should still look soft.

 

  • Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

Notes

  • Press a few extra M&M’S on top of each dough ball before baking for a bakery-style look.

  • For thicker cookies, chill the dough for 30 minutes before baking.

 

  • Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
