These chocolate M&M cookies are just begging for a glass of milk.  They are rich, chocolatey, chewy and fun to eat. 

     Chocolate fans rejoice, rich chocolate cookies loaded with M&Ms are a perfect way to celebrate our favorite flavor.  These cookies come together quick and easily.  They are a great way to use up some extra candy and are perfect for a party.  They would also be a fun addition to your holiday baking. No matter the reason, they are going to be delicious! 

    I originally shared this recipe back in 2016.  I needed some fun birthday treats to share with my coworkers at City Hall.

    Cookies are always fun because you can grab one or two and easily move about to socialize at a party, or go back to your desk in the case of office treats.  Plus they don't require plates or silverware to be enjoyed, making them a great treat to share.

    We received a lot of M&Ms at Christmas time, so I thought some should be turned into cookies.  It seemed like the perfect excuse to go back to this recipe.

    The first time I used a large cookie scoop and made giant cookies.  This time I used a medium cookie scoop and shaved a few minutes off the cook time. 

    They are fabulous both ways, so do whatever suits your situation. You won't be sorry either way.

Post from 2016:

    Chewy milk chocolate M&M Cookies are bound to be one of those cookies that your family asks for year round!  I mean why not?  

    After all, the only thing better than chocolate is more chocolate and the only thing better than a cookies is a bigger cookie.  You know I'm right.  Don't even try to deny it!

     These cookies are big, soft, delicious handfuls of chocolaty goodness.  They were another one of the birthday treats I brought to my coworkers.  

    I think I may have delivered somewhere in the vicinity of 15 pounds of sugary, buttery, yummy goodness that day!  Somehow we managed to work our way through the pile without any complaint!

      These cookies were actually kind of a hybrid of a few recipes.  I took part of what I loved from a few different places and added a few tweaks along the way.

  I had read somewhere that adding milk powder to cookie dough makes for a great chewy texture.  So I worked that in along with plenty of cocoa powder.  The results were amazing if I do say so myself!

Storing your cookies

Cookies are best stored at room temperature. Put them in an airtight container and store them on the counter for up to the week.

To keep cookies at their soft and chewiest, a piece of sandwich bread can be added to the storage container. The bread will lend a little extra moisture and keep the cookies fresh a little longer.

 These cookies also freeze beautifully. Just make sure the container or zipper bag is sealed well and freeze them for up to three months.
