The hubby and I have been going through an M&M phase lately. I bought a bag of them back in December thinking I would use the red M&M's for the nose in some Rudolph Christmas cookies that I actually did not end up making. The bag of M&M's was ripped open one night when only chocolate would do and over the course of January we had eaten the whole bag. I hadn't had M&M's in a long time and I forgot how addictive they are.The other week the husband came home with yet another bag! Oh dear... This time I decided to spin straw into gold and make M&M cookies.
I always loved cookies made with Smarties when I lived in the UK and these are just like them: fun and incredibly tasty. I made a big batch for a baby party I went to recently; they're so colorful and cute.
These cookies are lovely and chewy which complements the chocolatey crunch you get from the M&M's.

Ah those are very cute cookies... aren't ya glad ya still had that candy around?
ReplyDeleteclassic J loves these oh man I want smarties now!
ReplyDeleteYou are a darling - M&M cookies are one of my husband's favorites. We used to buy them all the time from the bakery but I never made them at home. Will have to do so now (although M&Ms are rather pricey here in Manila; maybe I can prevail on relatives back in the US to send a choco-care package...)
ReplyDeleteAnd Smarties!! How I miss those - I grew up eating them in Canada. Love their different crunch from M&Ms. 8-)
I love M&M cookies but have never had a good recipe. This looks perfect. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos! Sometimes, M&M's are all you need in life :)
ReplyDeleteThose look like the perfect M&M cookies! Yum!
ReplyDeleteI made these a while back and now I'm craving them all over again! They were super delicious and moist... can't wait to make em again :)

DeleteI LOOOOOVE THIS RECIPE! About a year ago I made these and just recently the craving came back again. They're the only cookies I make home made and I plan on making them again... and again...
