Description

The original M&M cookie dough recipe found on the back of an old 1980‘s M&M candy bag I had glued into my old recipe book as a kid. Makes about 24 cookies.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. In your main mixing bowl, add softened butter, brown sugar, white sugar and cream together until smooth.

  2. Add egg and vanilla extract and continue mixing.

  3. Sift in flour, baking soda, salt and mix.

  4. Add M&M's and mix them in with a spatula by hand.

  5. Wrap dough and chill for 1 hour in the refrigerator.

  6. Preheat your oven to 350˚F (175˚C). 

  7. Line a baking tray with parchment paper. Scoop 2 tablespoons of cookie dough (about the size of a walnut) and place the dough balls 2 inches apart on the prepared tray.

  8. Bake for 8 - 10 minutes.
  9. Let cookies cool completely before consuming. Enjoy!
