Prepare your dough with flour, sugar, butter, eggs, and vanilla. The magic begins when you stir in those colorful mini M&Ms!
Chill the cookie dough for about 30 minutes. This ensures your cookies bake evenly and have that perfect chewy texture.
Set the oven to 350°F. Preheating is key to getting your mini M&M cookies to bake with a golden exterior and soft middle.
Roll the dough into small balls, about one inch in size. This keeps them mini, just like the M&Ms, and ensures even baking.
Place the cookie dough balls on a lined baking sheet. Bake for 10-12 minutes until golden brown
Let the cookies cool for 5 minutes on the baking sheet before transferring to a cooling rack.
For an extra pop of color, press a few more mini M&Ms into the tops of the cookies while they cool for that perfect bakery-style look.
Store the cookies in an airtight container. They stay fresh for about a week but are best enjoyed warm and gooey.
These mini M&M cookies pair perfectly with a cold glass of milk. It's the ultimate combo for a snack that satisfies.
