M&M Cookies - Soft, chewy cookies loaded with colorful M&M's. A batch of cookies that both kids and grown-ups will love!

The #SundaySupper team and I are bringing you our favorite holiday cookie recipes today. And with much thought and brainstorming, I couldn’t help but bring M&M cookies to the table.

I’m not sure about you guys but I can’t think of a single person who would turn down M&M’s. And when you add these colorful chocolate candies to a cookie, how can anyone really say no?

The best part about these cookies is that you can add whatever mix-ins your sweet tooth desires. So if you’re craving even more chocolate, throw in some more chocolate chips. I could even imagine swirling in some dulce de leche or salted caramel next time. Mmmmm.

You could also pack these up in cookie tins and give them to your friends and neighbors – they’ll be over the moon for these!
