Santa's M&M Cookies
These Homemade M&M Cookies, or as I like to call them Santa’s M&M Cookies, are perfect for the holiday season. Crispy on the outside, chewy on the inside, and full of M&M’s, you’ll want to make them year round.

Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
- 3/4 cup butter soft, room temperature
- 1/3 cup white sugar
- 1/2 cup light brown sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 3/4 cup milk chocolate chips
- 1 tbsp. vanilla extract
- 1 cup mint M&M Holiday Chocolate save 1/3 cup to top the cookies
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
- Meanwhile, in a bowl or cake mixer, beat the butter with the sugar until smooth and creamy. Add the vanilla and the egg and beat until they are well incorporated.
- Add the dry ingredients gradually: flour, salt and baking powder.
- Mix until you have a sticky dough. Remove and add the chocolate chips and 2/3 of the M&M chocolate and everything together well with your hands or spatula.
- With an ice cream scoop, divid the dough into 12 pieces and place on a cookie sheet. Add some pieces of M&Ms and Chocolate chips on the top before baking.
- Bake for 12 minutes on 350 degrees or until the cookies look almost golden. Do not over bake or you will end up with hard cookies.
- Remove and let them cool on the pan for about 10 minutes. You can enjoy them warm if you like soft hot cookies or save them in a can or taper ware for later on.
