Double Chocolate M&M Cookies are thick and soft and have lots of chocolate flavor and oodles of M&Ms and are sure to be a favorite in your cookie jar.
These Double Chocolate M&M Cookies have both cocoa powder and semi-sweet chocolate chips added to the batter. The M&Ms melt a little creating a fantastically fudgy cookie.
To prevent the cookies from spreading out too much, refrigerate the dough for 1 hour before baking.
You can use either mini baking M&Ms or regular M&M candies.
I like to add more M&M candies to decorate each cookie right when I take them out of the oven. You just can’t have too many M&Ms. That way there’s no need to examine all the cookies to find the one with the most M&Ms before you choose the one you want. They are all fully loaded with M&Ms.

These cookies turned out well and taste yummy, but I did have a couple issues. First, my batter was super sticky, to the point where I thought I must have left out some flour. But I decided to try it the way it was, and the cookies did turn out the way they should, although I had to bake them for 12+ minutes. It would have been nice if the recipe had mentioned that the batter is supposed to be sticky. Secondly, next time I won’t put the m&ms into the batter because they stuck to the pan and cooling racks, so I’m going to just put the M&ms on top of the dough right before I bake them. Overall it was an easy recipe and I will make it again.
Cookies are my favorite and you shared great tips here. Thank you so much.
