Spring Easter M&M Cookies [+Video]

Deliciously thick, soft, and chewy spring Easter M&M Cookies! These cookies are the epitome of a perfect chocolate chip cookie: delightfully crunchy around the edges with a warm, soft center. Trust me, you absolutely must enjoy one while it’s warm!

I have seriously never worked so quickly to get a recipe out to you all, but the response on our Instagram for our M&M cookies was out of control, so I just had to put these Easter cookies into your hands!

I am almost always making and photographing recipes a year in advance. Therefore, these last few weeks, I’ve been developing, making, and photographing recipes for next spring and Easter. However, I just couldn’t resist showing you all the most perfect and awe-inspiring Easter M&M cookies that I had made last week. They were simply too glorious not to share…and you all agreed!

In fact, you agreed so much that I got bombarded with emails, DMs, comments, and all the things (which I LOVE). So, here they are—you don’t have to wait a whole year because I’m just that nice!

Endless Possibilities for Add-Ins

Even though Easter is over, this recipe works great with any add-ins you want. For instance, you can swap the Easter M&M’s for regular M&M’s or any holiday M&M’s. Since the 4th of July is just around the corner, can you imagine them with red, white, and blue? I can’t wait! Additionally, you could use Reese’s Pieces or pretty much anything else you desire. I’m going to write a whole section about add-ins below.

Furthermore, these cookies do not need to wait in the fridge, but I believe that they taste a little better if you let the dough rest. The key is that anytime you refrigerate or freeze a cookie, you want to give it about 15-30 minutes on the counter (if refrigerated overnight) to rest, the same goes for frozen cookies.

Ingredients for Easter M&M Cookies

This will be pretty much your standard list of ingredients for classic chocolate chip cookies plus some M&M’s. Here is what you will need:

  • Unsalted Butter – using unsalted allows you to control the saltiness of the recipe and make sure it is softened but not too soft!
  • Brown Sugar – you want fresh moist brown sugar to make the texture of these cookies perfect
  • White Sugar – just regular granulated white sugar
  • Egg – gives structure to the cookies and helps hold everything together
  • Vanilla Extract – adds to the flavor, and use the real stuff…no imitation vanilla
  • Flour – make sure to measure the flour correctly so they come out chewy and soft
  • Baking Soda – gives the cookies their rise and fluffiness
  • Cornstarch – helps make the cookies stay thick and soft

How it Works

Mom has 5 random ingredients and names in a hat. 

Mom pulls a name and that person picks their ingredient. We go until everyone has chosen an ingredient and then separate to make your own creation using anything in the fridge, freezer or pantry.
