M&M cookies are a lot like chocolate chip cookies except they use M&M chocolate candy’s instead of chocolate chips. I tried to find the history of how and when M&M cookies were invented but there is no information. If I had to guess someone somewhere had to make chocolate chip cookies and didn’t have chocolate chips but they did have M&M so on they went. Whoever that was was amazing because these cookies taste amazing and bring back fond memories from a lot of peoples childhood.

Tips: 1. Refrigerate the cookie dough so the cookies will come out fluffy. If you miss that step they will be flat spread out to much and become crunchy.

2. Always use room temperature ingredients when making these cookies so the dough will mix and bake properly.

3. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet so they will not get soggy on the bottom and so they will not fall apart.

4. Make sure to space cookies 3 inches apart to they will not melt together.
